Talk:Key blank

Legal implications
Actually the "Do Not Duplicate" stamp does carry weight. I work at Lowe's, and our policy is not to cut keys that say that. The keys we have for the store have that on them, plus I've noticed that keys for college dorms and other state property have that on them. So, obviously, cutting them is a violation of state law.

 * Your reasoning is flawed. Just because keys have it on them doesn't make it illegal to duplicate them. It would be illegal only if there are one or more laws against it, or if you're in violation of a contract as stated in the article. Having said that, I can imagine that the typical Lowe's employee would probably be in violation of corporate policy if s/he did that.
 * If I give you a page that says "do not copy" on it, and if you copy it anyway, you won't be violating any law, would you. --AB (talk) 16:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Uhm he would, because of copyrights. But you are right, there is no law restricting this. But in some Countries, locksystem keys are illegal to copy except if you can proof that you own the lock system. --95.88.93.51 (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Cleanup needed
Major cleanup needed for this page. I'll come back later and check on this, but I'd rather someone with more knowledge of the topic could sort it out if possible. Phyte 16:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
