Re: (OT) Is Sikorsky Doing This?

Is this just Ebay.com that Sikorsky is doing this? - I just did a
quick search of Ebay.co.uk and found several kits with Sikorsky in the
title. Perhaps the appropriate legislation is different in the UK :)

I don't really know anything about the legal position here. However,
couldn't a prospective seller of a kit of a Sikorsky item simply put a
Sikorsky copyright or TM notice in his description of the item he's
selling? (Hmm, maybe not if it's a question of the original kit
manufacturer not having the appropriate licence...)

I'd suggest emailing Sikorsky direct and telling them exactly what we
think of their actions :0 There's a nice contact list at
http://www.sikorsky.com/details/0,3036,CLI1_DIV69_ETI1059,00.html

Cheers,

Dave
