B"H
Dear all on Orchid, you gotta read this!  

    Am putting all of my selected 370 jewellery pictures into a book
    form for distribution...."Manual of Diamond Setting". This will
    contain all of my 35 articles plus 8-9 papers, not being "media"
    released. ...I came across one picture that of "Harley-Davidson"
    tie-tack, set with diamonds. I then immediately refused to use it.
    Why? Do I need a lawyer knocking at my door? any way that the owner
    will hear, or see it, will cause me lotsa $$$ grief 

    This was a 'gut' feeling. You must always use this 'gut' feeling if
    anything like this, is warranted. When I set a watch bezel, I always
    print, "its a rolex-styled, watch frame" ( notice the small "r" ).
    Even a large R will infuriate the copyright owners and their
    laws,....if its shown..to..the.."public". 

    Case in point, a web-site made an ethnic-parody of the children's
    book..."Dick and Jane"..they are now as of last Friday afternoon
    being sued to the hilt of using this name, without prior consent.
    The web owners, designers, everyone is on the list..so in
    closing,... "be ultra careful, you don't need the $$$
    hassle"...."Gerry, the Cyber-Setter!"..hope this email helps you all!
