You get enough crap from other people so I am just asking for sake of
clarity.  If those are the bylaws you have on your site, then all someone
has to do to get away with selling anything is mention your site.  If they
don't, all they have to do is say, "whoops... sorry, I thought I did.  I
will make sure I do next time. :) "

But, and this is a big butt, if you make and sell the stuff how can you get
pissed if someone else does?  That seems to me like a "do as I say not as I
do" limitation.

Just curious, really.  It seems like a huge gray area to me.

Well, I put the website together for the fans to enjoy.
I want people to download the stuff, print it and enjoy it.... but when they

copy it all to a CD
and SELL it, they are ripping off the customer who could be getting it for 
free.
It states in the bylaws of the website upon signing up that all the files 
are available to the members for free as long as they do not use the props 
for profit, or if any of the materials or references are used to build props

that are sold that they are required to mention the web site as credit.

So let's say you used the instructions and logos, etc. to build a prop for 
the purpose of selling
that the ad should mention my website.

All of this stuff really belongs to the artists and Universal so I can't 
claim ownership.
However a lot of this stuff has been hand made, re-drawn, or cleaned up in 
some
form or another. But even if I re-create something that doesn't make it 
mine.
...but if I am paying to maintain the website and all that I am not going to

support some
ass hole who is selling all my work!

I sell the props that I mention on my site, but also offer instructions on 
how to build all the stuff DIY if you choose, but most don't have the tools 
and skill to build this stuff and would rather buy it.
I also sell my props for less than anyone else.
Most of the stuff I build and sell is sold for almost half of what others 
sell it for.

It was just my way of supporting the hobby and the fans of BTTF.
