Realizing that this puppy has been flogged to death, I still think there is a side bar we should consider. If UP gets its way and starts charging for copyright, so be it. After all it's their legal right and we will have to endure it. What we, the hobbyist much be aware of is how the manufacturers pass this increase to us and how the other Railroad Corporations percieve this. Cosider this: If the manufactures and /or retailers hike the price on UP and only UP equipment there should be no problems with regards to other RR corps getting feathers rumpled. After all it makes UP look like the bad guy, not a good corporate image. However if the manufacturers/retailers decide the copyright charge can be absorbed, cost shared or or spread out across the board on all their product line then other RR Corps may take offence. After all why should UP profit from the sales of their competitors logos? As far as I'm concerned if Uncle Pete wants his cake let him have it along with everything that goes with it. Just make sure he's not getting everyone else's cake. Or else we will be doing alot more baking.
