is that what i said? i thought i actually said ....of course only if the owner gives their permisson.

i was trying to point out that often, giving permission to those who ask for personal website use can have it's benifits.  i didn't mention anything about looking the other way over copyrite infringement either.....and for some, the fact it is posted on the net does indeed mean it''s free for the taking as far as they're concerned.
