Chris ( CMW amps )	protection LFO ( Please correct me if I'm wrong , ain't no lawer too ) copyrights are only for drawings so if you do draw schematic by reverse-engineering it's legal , it's your drawing . It's pretty hard to protect a circuit , if it's really new you can patent it , "updated" circuits cannot be patented . Other solution : goop . Patenting ain't cheap and the owner does need to hire lawers and check by himself if someone else is using his patent . Imho this whole thing is just a case of respect ( or lack of ) . Chris
