GPL Osterreichring map on alt.binaries.simulators.autos

Dear GPLers:

I've scanned a map of the Osterreichring from Cimarosti's _Complete History
of Grand Prix Motor Racing_ (New York: Crescent Books, 1986), p. 264, and
have uploaded it to alt.binaries.simulators.autos .   Cimarosti's caption:

"The 1970 Austrian Grand Prix was held for the first time on the
Osterreichring at Zeltwig, though the 5.911 km circuit did not initially
have the chicane illustrated here."

Perhaps some kind soul wil find the illustration useful for creating a
Programme file for GPL.

best,
David K.

I'm not flaming you, but what is the problem exactly of posting a
track map???

I think the poster reffered to the fact that a book is also copyrighted :)

Eg: It is not acceptable here to distibute a track from N3 so that people
can convert it to GPL, thats piracy. But scanning a page from a book seems
to be allright. In almost every book there is something printed about this
might not be copied in any way.

I am sure that the rest the list joins me in thanking Mr. Z. for
reminding us about the absolute sanctity of the copyright.  I would
inform Mr. Z. that I am well aware that such a posting is of dubious
legality.  I have done it nonetheless.

I would note, however, that I very easily could have simply posted the
map, w/o citing the source.  Instead, I did cite the source; and did so
with benevolent intentions.

I hope, however, that you do not consider my response a "flame."

I await the lawyers.

My ISP doesn't give me access to this newsgroup.  Would you be willing
to send me this map via email?  If so, I'll post it on my site.

Thanks!

But Alison, don't you know that that would be illegal? :)

Come on now folks, surely they're all just 'guidelines' rather than proper
grown-up rules ;-)

Stand up for the mighty scanner and don't bow to such legalities!

I only say that as I fear I may have breached a law or two. Come on folks,
strength in numbers.

I ran a stop sign two days ago--wasn't caught, but today I'll head down
to the station and turn myself in . . .
