Hi All,
      As many of you know, the Geek Group avidly supports the
dissemination of
scientific and technical knowledge by all legitimate means. All
pictures,
texts, and diagrams on our web site are published with the permission of
the
author(s) and credits are posted to the extent possible.  We usually
have no
objections to anyone copying pictures and quoting text as long as
sources
are cited and appropriate credit given. However, copying from our site
without permission, removing credit lines, and publishing materials on
another website as one's own, is intellectually and professionally
unethical
and, in the case of copyrighted materials, also illegal, even
internationally.

Because pursuing remedy claims internationally through the legal system
is
very slow, painful, and costly, we are asking the members of TCML, the
largest peer-review TC group, to consider this several-year-old
illustration
from our website:
    http://www.thegeekgroup-dot-org/projects/bucketcap/

and compare it to this recent website:
http://free-kc.htnet.hr/Kreso-Bukvic/Izrada%20VN%20kondezatora.htm

     and use whatever peer pressure they may be able to exert to remedy
this
situation without our having to seek legal recourse.
      While we realize that sometimes a copy of a copy of a copy of
something
may inadvertently be displayed without permission/credits However direct
plagiarism with deliberate editing out of names/logos is difficult to
see as
accidental.

Sincerely,


The Geek Group Board
