You’ve done such a wonderful job in preserving the memory of Mack history, won’t you join me in sharing America’s trucking history with all our fellow countrymen? After all, our history isn’t owned, rather it is the very fabric that binds our country. BTW, I wrote this article many years ago.....if I recall correctly, all the black and white photographs were provided to me years ago by my late old friend and former Mack museum curator Colin Chisholm*. Needless to say, he had a treasure of photographs at his fingertips. *https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/46581-mack-remembrance-–-w-colin-chisholm/?tab=comments#comment-343610 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxidyne Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Memo to Ralph: Sorry foamer, but old pictures of old locomotives are worthless- Those locos appeared in public all over the place for years and probably hundreds of images of them exist, and a lot of them very firmly in the public domain. So if you're hoping to make some small bucks threatening lawsuits, sorry buddy, get a life and maybe a job too. You'd be wise to accept the OP's kind off of a penny in royalties, 'cause that's the best you're gonna get! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dirtymilkman Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 Wow, and here lies the problem with our modern civilization. You used my photo, I'm suing! Wahhhhh! Get over yourself and be happy someone saw something you did. If it was a piece of custom art and this website is making money off of it, then it's a different story. Reread your original statement and see how much of a little bitch you sound like. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickfarms Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 First the complainer needs to prove he has a valid current copyright to that image. Second the complainer needs to prove the image was taken from his website, and when. The complainer may have lost his claim by setting up the website to allow the copying of images Third he needs to show how he was harmed and or how the use of the image benefited some one else financially The last hurdle will be the statue of limitations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TS7 Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 Kscarbal you gave a great reply to that person. I feel that most everyone on BMT supports you for what you do share Mack history with us and you must use a lot of your free time to do it. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glitchwrks Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Trolling Google images and trying to get copyright holders whipped up about someone else using their pictures is apparently a business strategy for some legal firms. I'm personally aware of this case from a few years ago: https://www.computerworld.com/article/2982914/hacker-magazine-2600-extorted-for-714-over-ink-spot-pic-copyright-troll-doesnt-own.html There exist automated services for doing this, apparently, and some "enterprising" legal group decided to start offering the "service" as something that one can pay for.

CaptainCrutch Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well personally I think it’d be an honor to have my pictures used to discuss history, or used at all and an example of something! It’d be different if someone tried to claim they took the photo themselves but that’s clearly not the situation here... but I guess people will do anything for money. It’s sad to see someone try to scam others out of money for sharing information, or in this case photos, that they have provided to the public. This would be a different story if he just responded “hey those are my pictures!” and left it at that but he had to go and threaten a lawsuit over it! thank you for sharing the history of Macks on rails, it’d be interesting to restore one of those AC based ones, it’d probably be easier than the other two, can’t believe nobody ever talks about Macks locomotives. 1 Quote Who needs a back yard when you could have a Yard?!

Popular Post Truck Shop Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 It's laughable, anyone can come right behind and take a photo from the same angle and who is to say who's photo it is. It happens all the time at car and truck shows. Now my art work {only I created it with hours involved}. My work was copyrighted, but if someone posts my work or puts it on a tee-shirt I could care less. I'm honored that someone thought it was good enough to put on a shirt or post. 3 Quote One ping only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman05 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Hello, new to this forum. I was wondering if anyone has the diagrams for the 4 axle Mack Boxcab, otherwise known as Mack No. 3 and 4. I am interested in making a 3D model of it, and bringing it into the Trainz Railroad Simulator. If anyone has anything, my email is Trainman05@mail.com. Thanks, TM05/MatthewB.
