<p>as with patents, the depositing of a model is mainly a deterrant against copiers</p>
<p>so if you deposit a model, jus as with a patent, keep it as vague and as comprehensive as possible</p>
<p>Google Sketchup allows you to make a very detailed and accurate drawing for your own use</p>
<p>then in the styles panel, you have a choice of "sketchy" styles</p>
<p>try these out one by one, you will be amazed at the results</p>

<p>Interesting, I was under the impression that all one had to do was alter it by 10% and they in turn could start production or replication. I guess if someone started mass producing a duplicate of my design it would or could be an issue, but the way it stands, where I'm located there really isn't a big demand for AP in flat mass farmed agriculture based on the millions of acres of tillable acreage...so sad.</p>

<p>Yeah, I think its pretty unethical and low.</p>
<p>I mean yeah I did post it on a public website, but I built it to show something that I built and am proud of, not for some scamming money vulture to use.</p>

<p>They are using the video, I mean anyone could built or replicate my system, like I said , I kind of gave up exclusive rights to my particular design when I publicallly posted it. Don't really care about that, I just wanted to build something that was semi compact, self contained that could be moved and that anyone could build likewise because I believe this whole movement could explode if it were affordable, compact, movable, and leave zero carbon footprint.</p>
<p>But, the way I look at it, fine then they should build 1 of their own, at least put an effort into it.</p>
<p>My utlimate design is the 1 I'll share very little with when I build except to the AP community (people here).</p>
<p>TC gave me some pretty good direction, so hopefully what he recommended will work. Whats equally frustrating is the ethics and the pattern this company/person seems to have throughout the web. But still persist on being a dirtbag without a conscience.</p>
<p>But yeah it does make me mad, so now I guess I'm a mad mad german! LOL</p> does this make you an even mo…tag:aquaponicgardening.ning.com,2011-08-12:4778851:Comment:1785122011-08-12T03:31:33.864ZSylvia Bernsteinhttps://aquaponicgardening.ning.com/profile/SylviaBernstein

<p>Is it your system or your image they are using...or both?</p>
<p>This kind of thing drives me nuts. Whenever I see my images being used by another site I must confess that I start by politely asking them to either take it down or give me credit with a caption and a link back to my site. If they ignore me I get pretty nasty pretty quickly. It is basically stealing...and that just ain't…</p>
