Default Re: Making Wood Plans available

Brent, I encountered this dilemma in my design business when I first started out in 1970. A very seasoned associate designer said, "Charge what you think is a fair price for your work. Put a copyright sign on it, then turn it loose. Don't think about it any more. You've made your money, and those who respect the copyright will come to you for permission. You can't control the crooks."

I ran my business like that for 37 years, and my hair isn't gray yet.
