As I stated earlier I have a folder full of original Trader sheets but although they have been in my possession for 50+ years I do not claim any sort of copyright on them, nor am I entitled to in any way.
It just seems the whole thing on the net is a bit of a legal shambles and I don't begin to understand it.

If you take a copy of your original trader sheet and send it to a friend I don't see a problem after all I have been copying sheets from my collection for decades to give to friends (at least 3 probably 4 or more ).
I remember copying sheets in the old 3M copiers at work where you got that funny shiny copy that would fade over 5 years or so
Paul is only claiming rights to the Sheets he has copied cleaned up and made available if I understand him correctly.
For the same reason although I have Pauls DVD I scanned my copies of Cossor Service sheets from originals and a lot of work it was too, it would in no way be right or fair to use Pauls scans.
I need to re-scan many or re edit many to improve the quality or in some cases find a better original.
