Are there more new US sets in this list?

I can fully see and understand his point about copyright and everything. However putting it "somewhere" on the internet and then expecting it to not go further then the intended group is usually not a very good strategy.


Thank you very much for your elaborate answer HM!

4. Maybe he got upset too because he did not want this piece of information roaming around all over the place prematurely to 'protect' his sources. It is after all the first mention of pcc exclusive sets of which noone has ever heard before.

Surely, then, he should not have published it on an open forum but on an area open only to kw members and with a warning that it should be limited to kw members.  Maybe, it would have been better not to have published it all.  Maybe, too, it is time that there was a know, formal structure to the PCC which includes the publishing of news such as this.

Well spoken.

Indeed, it is not. If you want to keep it don't put it on the internet. But in this case some of those involved might just not have been aware that it was not just a list or that there might be other issues connected with it. But this should not cause difficulties between forums that are about to collaborate on the pcc and other common interests.   

Speaking about 5959: I would have preferred if they would have kept the knights and had given us just dragoons.

I totally agree Gordon and Gis!

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"

PF hosted the PCC pilot group, shouldn't we be getting this information first, anyway?

The pcc should get such information first. I guess it was supposed to be this way in this case too.

I think that PF as such is not entitled to anything, The Pilot Group Board (of which I am a member and which is officially disolved) would IMO be the persons who should hear this first so that they can make sure that this information is spread to ALL the collectors at the same time.

I don't think this is a mater where Geobra wanted to share anything. It's a leak, and as it goes with leaks you don't know where it is going to happen otherwise you would have made preventive measurements.

Maybe it's time for us to consider adopting some guidelines around this issue.  We probably all learned pretty much the same "rules" in school about how to cite sources when writing a paper or preparing a speech.  Those rules are basically what "fair use" is all about.  Internet etiquette is probably much looser but it doesn't have to be. 

Here is one very simple suggestion:
When interesting information is discovered on an internet source and you wish to share that info with others, simply provide a link to that source.  If someone doesn't want links made to their on-line comments then they shouldn't be posting their info in a public forum.

One obstacle is that a person needs to be a logged-in member on a site like Playmofriends or Klickywelt in order to see photos.  In a case like that we can help people figure out how to become members.  People can also continue to ask for permission to copy and re-post original photos (just like so many people have already done in the past.)

Sounds very good Indianna!
