3ncryptable3_lick, all I have to say is what was said already. There is nothing stopping me from performing any action whatsoever - murder, stealing, bribery, plagiarism, you name it. Ah, but there is something that exists in most people which acts to dissuade the pursuit of such actions. It's a built-in "empathy" which guides our actions for the good of our species, our close group, and ourselves (not always in that order) - usually denoted as conscience. As sentient beings, we have codified these built-in responses and actions as laws and rules. Therefore, just because one can do something, doesn't mean that it is the right thing to do. Just because most people don't have a sign on their door that says "tenants only - no trespassers" doesn't give one the right to enter their premises. Why? If you answer this, then you know why copying other people's artwork without permission and displaying without permission is wrong and illegal. BYS
