Well, now that you've explained yourself, sorry for the rant. But, it doesn't excuse this. The only reason that you can defend it is because of the anonymity of the internet. Let's take a little art show in some market. The pictures there aren't for sale, just for display - maybe local artists getting some coverage. There are no armed guards, nor are there any signs of "Copyrighted Materials". This is a "real" gallery just like the one here where anybody can view and admire the work. Except for the fact that if someone were to say to themselves, "Wow, I like that picture, think I'll take it home with me." and walk off with it, it'd be considered theft. If they later claimed that it was theirs, it would be copyright infringement (if not plagiarism, etc.). So, what's the difference? Just because I would love a nice home gallery with some modest works by DaVinci, Botticelli, Dali, and Escher doesn't give me the right to just borrow them for myself, does it? BYS
