Lowe has the absolute right to protect his secrets. No doubt. I have a few of my own! And I really didn't mean to degrade the lowebow. I have hear Pat play this online and it _is_ a unique instrument indeed! You know, a good suggestion for him _is_ to patent the solutions. I tout Open Source, but there are tons of instances where using Open Source and proprietary [read: patented] solutions are done. This protects the originator from such fraud. You might want to think about that with your TCRockers too, eh?
I would say that the "correct" IP protection for the concern Ted voiced (folks passing off a cheap copy as the "real McCoy") is to trademark the name "lowebow": that is what trademarks or for. Pursuing one or patents would be more complicated / expensive, and would be useful if what you wanted was to prevent others from using the technique, rather than the name.

I love the smell of napalm in the morning...
Sam you are certainly have a chip on you shoulder. I hope you can work out your problems.

"No one can fault Johnny for protecting his unique, evolving design. If the shoe was on the other foot and Sam came up with an innovative instrument, dedicated years to refine it and which was his source of income, I'm sure that there would be a new rule".....
Ted,
Don't be so sure what I would or wouldn't do... Even though you live by your craft, you are generous with information that will help others build (to a point)a design that is clearly TCRocker. It is truly that generousity of spirit that defines the best of the CBG community and which is always the point of departure in our "appreciation" of the LowBow and it's creator.
I would really rather that you didn't put me in the same boat with John..... even in a hypothetical.
the best,
Sam
