[FPSPACE] Another Boeing copyright infringement

[Mark Wade]

I have to put up with this constantly - uncredited use of my drawings
in scientific papers, government and industry briefings, and magazines
(including Aviation Week, although after my last complaint they did
credit me in a recent issue). Most spectacularly, one author published
an entire book that consisted almost entirely of drawings and data
from my site - credited, but without my permission and contrary to my
conditions of use.

Every attempt to do anything leads nowhere... and it's never worth the
cost of legal action. Moral: if you put something up on the Internet,
you have to expect it's going to be used without your permission. The
main thing is to get the thing properly credited, which in this case
they refuse to do.

But then Boeing was long ago taken over by lawyers and corporate types...
