SpeedRacer	Re: Schematics & Copyrights It would seem from his POV that he has protected himself via the "secrecy" agreement.. you can't open the amp to RE it if you are bound by a contract which states you won't open it.. I think that's how he planned on avoiding the whole nebulous (and expensive) patent law stuff. Regardless of how the schematic was created (copied, traced out, etc) you had to crack the amp open and violate the contract to do it. Simple yet effective, if it holds up. (just trying to understand perhaps where he's coming from, not comment on the current situation)
