Playmofan.nl site closed by Geobra

[Martin Milner]

For some time (possibly years?) a dedicated fan has run this site to provide plans for sets to people buying second hand who don't have the original plans. Geobra have recently picked up on it and closed it down.

If you feel it was a useful sevice and Geobra have made a mistake (since they don't offer this service themselves), please sign the petition linked below. It would be especially useful if you could add a comment as to your feelings on this.

I had to pay to sign the petition

Don't click the donation thing, I just read that page and it says that it doesn't support the petition you just signed.

I agree that it's idiotic for Playmobil to not offer the plans themselves. And, to not help and authorize someone who has taken the time and trouble to offer this service to the Playmobil community, doesn't make any sense at all.

Fortunately, Martin Milner has discovered a clever way to "legally" offer all of Playmobil's construction plans online.

The only reason that Geobra's lawyers can stop anyone from posting Playmobil's plans online is because reproducing anything printed by Playmobil is copyright infringement. What Martin Milner did is perfectly legal, because Martin only posted some photos that he took himself. And, that, Playmofriends, is perfectly legal. Click HERE for Martin's brilliant post!

All the best,
Richard

I signed the petition.  I really do think Geobra has some idiots within their management.

Why does LEGO accept full plans on peeron.com when Playmobil doesn't

LEGO don't accept plans, it has to be 5 years old....
