All valid points. Interestingly, I just remembered that we in Denmark have a law called "Danefæ"[0], which states that the government has claim on all found "treasure". Here you can read what is "danefæ" (i.e. claimed) http://natmus.dk/salg-og-ydelser/museumsfaglige-ydelser/danefae/hvad-kan-vaere-danefae/ http://natmus.dk/salg-og-ydelser/museumsfaglige-ydelser/dane.... As the law is mostly written with ancient, dug-up items in mind a contraption such as the one in question would not be covered. It's interesting though, how it would solve the moral dilemma. It's surprisingly hard to find information on this in english; do the states/UK have a similar setup? (your DEC VAX collection obviously wouldn't be covered (yet)) [0] http://natmus.dk/salg-og-ydelser/museumsfaglige-ydelser/danefae/ http://natmus.dk/salg-og-ydelser/museumsfaglige-ydelser/dane...
