"You do not care for legal issues at all - an interesting aspect of American business attitude. I for example respect the issues my suppliers have and do not ignore that only because i think they do wrong. Example? Images from image libraries. Do i give them to my clients for free only because i paid for them? No, would be against the conditions i have bought them under. Even when the image libraries are American companies like Getty Images."

I don't think that you relaize the point of the problem. Now take that ONE step further like E-On has. What if the images from your image library that you bought would ONLY work in Photoshop. But perhaps you also work in Paint Shop Pro for a few special things. But since you can ONLY use these images that you bought in Photoshop... you're SOL if you want to use them in PSP. Not too fair is it now? When you look at things in a different perspective (regardless of what side of the pond you are on) you may see how unfair it is.

Does THAT make it a little more clear? I should be able to use ANY of the objects I bought for Vue in Poser or Lightwave or anything else - as long as I don't allow others to have them for free, which is kind of obvious. This "copy protection" is only stopping us legitimate users from fully using the product. Pirates have no problem with these schemes as we have seen all to well in the past.
