A link (to text or picture) is one thing. It's no problem, I think.
But if you copy pictures or text (infos?), you have to ask the author (Copyright).
This is perhaps the reason for the trouble of/with the author.

Zugpferdchen, could you please let me know where this quote comes from on the Klickywelt site?  When I originally signed up over there I was struggling with the language difference - now that the framework can be seen in English, I thought I should know what I was agreeing to!   ;)   

Also, I was checking Klickywelt (and Playmofriends, too) to see if there is any policy about linking to the site from other websites.  I couldn't find anything in either location.  As far as I can tell, the only rules at either site are about activity on the site itself with no prohibitions or limits on linking to the sites.  Has anyone seen any other rules about this?

I agree that the klickywelt member is probably trying to protect his source, but you can't protect something (as many have already commented), when you post on the net! This whole secrecy business will hopefully come to an end when we have our established playmobil collectors club full of transparency and shared enthusiasm.

Most of what I would have to say has been said by others already.
One point not made is that this could all be fiction. There is nothing to show that any of these sets do or will exist. Of course if it's fiction then it would be a creative work and under copyright...  :P

Interesting point, Tim.  It could even be a subtle form of market research by Geobra.   :)

THis borders on the ridiculous.  We're talking about a list of numbers.  Are these numbers launch codes to nuclear weapons?  No?  Oh thats right, just a list of new TOYS that are going to be released. In the past it seemed like alot of new info came from KW.  What has changed or is it a good ol case of "I don't wanna share my toys" 8} 8} 8} 8} 8} 8} 8}

Sad, but true I'm afraid!

:hmm:

I wouldn't make up a list of fictional sets and I'm sure the source on Klickywelt didn't make it up either; he's part of the forum-administration and responsible for all info regarding non-German sets. You could say his source might have made it up, but that seems a farfetched and unlikely scenario IMHO.

I didn't mention the war.  :lol:  8}

Hadoque, I almost fell off my chair laughing at that last line. I kept thinking of Basil Fawlty " don't mention the war! ".

" Don't tell him your name Pike! "

This whole copying issue would be funny if it was not actually sad.
