Could the Japanese be guilty of plagiarism? They copied the designs of so many western inventions a century ago, and learned to make good 4WD vehicles by assembling left over US Jeeps for use in Korea.

i had the original on disc, but I disposed of them a few years ago during one of my periodic sweeps to clear out almost unused items. I figured I can always find them on Youtube.
