[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 17714, member: 126"] Re: The ethics of cabinet copying There is a gray area, if the boxes are made for personal use, and if the copying involves any protected IP. If they are copying the look of the purchased line array that seem like a trade dress or perhaps a design patent issue. While unlikely to be worth pursuing legally other than to make an example of them. There is a long tradition of small sound companies rolling their own speaker cabinets to save money, but flying cabinets is a completely different animal. Where they are putting audiences at risk with possibly under engineered internal support structure. It seems their liability insurance provider might object if they knew. If a failure happens they are on their own. JR [/QUOTE]
