Deep Thoughts

I got a question for my fellow members... A friend of mine wanted a special birthday gift for his nephew and offered me cash to build him the Model Art F-15... My copy of this kit was purchased from Zarkov a long while agao but is building it and then selling it copyright violation?!? I don't intend to do this ever again (just helping out a friend) but I can't help but wonder if that a form of copyright violation.

This can be interpreted a couple ways. you bought the kit legal i'm assuming. you build as many of the things you want to, still legal. someone comes along and you just "gave" it away
i'm thinking you are okay. you're not profiting from the doctors plans. I had a quick thought(rare these days) but if he offers you the same amount of money or more for the kit it would be perfectly legal if he buys a copy from Dr Zarkov, and you "help him" assemble it.

As you say he wants you to build it for him.... not an unbuilt kit
If he pays for the finished product, then what you are selling him is a finnished
model. No copyright violation, because you are selling your labor.

If you sold him a copy of the unfinished "kit" then there would be copyright issues.

You will be selling your work, not Mr Zarkov model. That's my take. Selling original digital version is a no go.
