I think if you copy Scott's pipes for yourself or a friend that would be fine, however if you copy Scott's pipes and market them for all to buy that's a big problem. It needs to be done like Stu Barr and the BVM, Bob Violett, needle valves. Im sure Stu spent a lot of his own money to continue providing a great product to all of us. If you all remember there was a similar problem with some people copying some ABC props.
Scott's pipes are the real deal, they really work and that's why were even having this conversation. If you want one that bad I'm sure you'll find one. I imagine if someone offer's Scott the right amount he may be willing to talk.
