The publishers of Radio Electronics, et all, DO get sued.  They can afford
the lawyers to defend their position -- the average experimenter can't.  I
don't want to alarm everyone but simply to say be careful of what you do. 
Things are a lot different now that they were back in the 60's -- now the
lawyers for the big insurance companies payout to the "fryee's" parents and
go after you -- the little guy because they know you can't afford to spend
$10,000 on a legal defense to essentially prove your innocence.
