Some turners might be plagiarizing without even knowing it.
This is from an article in the American Woodturner and it really got
me to
thinking. With all of the shapes that have already been turned how
many
are left? Will I ever be able to turn something that has not already
been
done? Before reading this article I had made the assumption that
everything that I turned was original and mine. Now that my eyes are
open
it is obvious that I am guilty of intellectual theft. Somewhere,
sometime, someone has certainly turned a piece identical to anything
that
I would randomly generate.
Time to change my name and head to the hills. What is the difference
between a felony and a misdemeanor?
Rambling, worked all night and brain not working any more.
