Starting on Monday, September 1st, we're going to be posting totally brand new free video content to MRH Theater - and we'll continue doing that each and every Monday. We're calling it MOVIE MONDAY!

The new video content will be marked with a red NEW VIDEO! so that it's easy to spot.

So tell all your hobby friends - it's Free Movie Monday every Monday in MRH THeater!

Model Railroading just made software history on August 13th with an historic court ruling on the enforceability of an open source software copyright, specifically in this case, the open source Java Model Railroad Interface.

KAM Industries, a model railroading software firm located in Portland, Oregon and owned by Matt Katzer, sued JMRI open source project founder Bob Jacobsen for patent infringement. Jacobsen and his associates argued that prior art existed for Katzer's patents, including Katzer's use of some JMRI code without proper permission as per JMRI's open source copyright license provisions.

Robert Schleicher, editor of Railmodel Journal Magazine, has announced that his RMJ magazine has ceased publication. The June 2008 issue is their final issue.

Railmodel Journal joins the ranks of Mainline Modeler and Model Railroading Magazine, two other prominent second-tier magazines in the model railroading hobby that have also ended publication in the last year.
