Lure and Plug copies
I am seeing a lot of copying of lures and plugs and wonder if there is a copyright or infringement law that protects the original builder or is this a wide open free for all?
For example, you know what is going on in the plug world but look at the metal lure market as well. There are those that are clearly making molds off of classics and reselling them under their own name. Is this legal? If there is no legal protection, (even if they make a subtle mod or two to the original), there is not real motive to spend the effort to make and tune your own when it will just be cloned.
Is there any protection for lure makers?
