Just recently I heard a similar rumour that some fellow (in Turkey of
all
places) came up with the bright idea of building knock-off Morgans in his
garage
to sell privately. Supposedly when the Morgans caught wind of such foolish
notions, they decided to make an attempt at restricting photos of the factory
so
as to prevent people from building fake Mogs. I guess the idea was to protect
the
secrets of Morgan building, but I think the cat is already out of the bag. I
also
heard they've enacted similar policies in the past, but fortunately nobody
heeds
or enforces such rules.
