He's got that right. If Some shmoe right off the street can look at your pants and then at meta's / zygotes' and say "SAY dem pantaloons is just like THOSE pantaloons...." well then you my friend have a violation. But if someone came about and said ..."hey nice pants." then looked at meta's and said "Hmm...neat...but I like his better" well then you know it's totally different. Think of it this way, "most art created in photoshop" is usually just taking someone else's photos and altering them to look unrecognizable for ones own use." Granted there are tons of people who do art from scratch....but there are also those that support the thriving "clip art" business.... If you really want to know the dilly-o on copyrights and so one...check out the GRAPHIC ARTIST GUILD. It's full of VERY important info for Graphic Artist' like us... www.gag.com
