{"As long as the copyrighted characters are not used in a way to make profit" LOL! Ever hear of the term "FOXED"?} I think so, but it doesn't apply in this case, as you were redistributing a file without the author's permission; what you did was rude and improper, but not strictly illegal. {Actually CB, the owner of any copyrighted or trademarked item can insist upon its removal from any use to which they haven't given license or permission - and that includes non-profit fan material.} You are correct; I was over simplifying. {To which I must use the time-honoured response of 'he started it!' ;-)} Ah yes. It would appear that way... But two wrongs do not a right make... ;-)
