We don’t ask permission to the authors of text books in a chemistry class, or a biology class, We don’t call Sony records (or whoever holds the copyright) to use The Beatles’s scores to teach their music in a conservatory teaching room. I am curious then, as to why Origami OUSA has a different opinion. They require us to get permission from the model designer or the estate if deceased in order to teach a model at their convention. Is there someone from that organization that cares to comment and offer their perspective on things? Andrew Hans
