It was Eric Idle, not Graham Chapman. And he wanted to be called Loretta. ;) (Sorry, hardcore Pythonite, can't let that go without a comment.) I actually agree that copyright violation isn't quite as bad as outright theft, but if it happens enough, it can actually rob someone of real income. If someone illegally copies a hit product (as happened recently here at Renderosity, not mentioning any names) and people buy THAT product instead of the original (because it's cheaper, because they see it first, etc.), then the originator of the work is actually losing money. If a design company pays for one copy of Photoshop and then uses it on seven different workstations with seven different workers, then Adobe is losing the money they should have made for those six additional workstations. Granted, most images here don't fall into categories of that sort, but my point was actually that some forms of copyright violation DO end up being actual theft, or at least measurable loss. bonni
