Ok I already know which way I'm leaning on this, but I wanted to put it up to a KLOV shitter-stall-poll and find out what you think. Here's the scenario:
You've been building cabinets for a few years now and have gotten really good. You have a website and everything where you sell your primo cabinets. Last year you had a really good idea and decided to look into repro-ing and selling a rare and much-wanted cabinet. (No, you really do actually make and sell the cabs instead of ripping people off!
) You spend about 12 months and many, many hours and a good amount of cash in coming up with the plans, cutting test cabinets, wasting wood, re-starting, and FINALLY after more than a year you have detailed plans for your new cab. They sell like hotcakes! Everyone wants one and for the first few weeks you're reaping the rewards of your hard work. *Now you've made just enough money to cover your expenses!*
Then suddenly people begin to realize that they could save a few bucks if they built the cabs themselves, or had their local shop build them. Well, they just need the plan details, CNC router file, etc from you. What do you say? Hook a brother up! I couldn't afford the cab anyway with shipping and all.
What would you do? Would you tell him to go pound sand and if he wants the cab to go buy it from your website? Or do you give him the plans knowing full-well that they will end up on the internet and the cab sales slow to a trickle?
