T4 Diagnostic software - Page 4

MSS · 6th January 2016, 22:08

I'm more interested in cloning one of the diagnostic experts. Is there copyright on them and if so, who owns it?

Without one of them the software, whether legal ot not, is of very little relevance for the majority.

I own MarinaBrian's copyright.
Paid for it with lunch at RTYC and a packet of Ginger Snaps....

Hands off....he is not available for resale until I speak to Dolly The Sheep's Cloning Scientists in Aberdeen.

Then I am marketing a Virtual MarinaBrian...

Joking...

I was hoping that it would be legal to clone them as the copyright may have expired by now. After all, some of them are getting on a bit.

Gawd, now that's not a pretty thought, one of those is bad enough, never mind multiples

The rights to produce MarinaBrian's are held by Mutha and Fatha I'm afraid, and fortunately the original plans have been destroyed

I'm sure we can reverse engineer you Brian.
Just wonder how a Geordie Indian accent sounds?

I have originals of all of the relevant software, and in multiples, but then again I own three actual T4 machines, and two TestBook 1, and a TestBook 3.

For the purpose of day to day running, each machine has a backup disc for each original disc I own.

It may be worth contacting X-Part, as they supply technical support for their dealer network

Brian
Thank you for the information.
My reply to the post was a quick Google search for copyright law in the UK ,there is a wealth of information regarding American copyright and the dates they signed up to the agreements etc

Thank you for the clarification

Just nip into the Koh I Noor in the Bigg market, you can hear the accent for yourself
