Without the permission of the copyright holder of the plans, anyone who uses a plan is guilty of a breach of copyright.So anyone who uses a plan from a book of plans is guilty of theft? Of course if it is copied verbatim then it is theft but the plan can be suited to use as a basis for the individual job.
This is still likely to be a breach of copyright. Substantial copying - even in another form (e.g. a built form based on plans) will constitute a breach of copyright.Of course if it is copied verbatim then it is theft but the plan can be suited to use as a basis for the individual job.
I would have assumed (similiar to the other poster) that some plans (like those in plan books) were non-copyrighted and available for public use (assuming through some sort of agreement with the owner)?Without the permission of the copyright holder of the plans, anyone who uses a plan is guilty of a breach of copyright.
Dont see an awful lot wrong with that but bear in mind that the neighbours aren't going to be jumping for joy if you build the identical extension.All I want is to see the plans and what they did on the inside. My house is the same design. I can then ask my arch to say I really like that design can you make something like that but in my way
fair enough - mind you would be p***** off if my architect sold on my house plan to another person.
Correct.AFAIK. They are not your plans but the archiect's. I think there is a legal ruling covering this.
