Gradient,
no worries mate! :)

I'm just tgetting very worried about some of the really horrible, dangerous stuff I'm seeing corporates pull at the moment, like in the pharmaceutical area, not a topic for Rosity, but comes under the umbrella of peoples' rights being stolen or lives endagered by those who're so powerful, they are skewing our entire societies :/

Lot of spammers and art theft & other online crap rely on certain countries with no care about common sense laws, mostly Russia, China and ex-USSR.  Changing their attitudes' fairly, but without letting corporates become dangerous despots...meh, tricky, but is very needed, as real gangsterism is deadly dangerous.

be a very sad world if artists are too afraid to post their work for fear of theft :(

On a sillier side, I did find one of my freebie models on a site, seemed ot be some kind of college attempt to database online models, not theft IMHO (be nice if they had asked though), just they put it in entirely the wrong category, lol! ;)

Alas, laws today, are the foundations of the laws tomorrow. What may seem ok today, can lead ot a chain of events that are terrible...probably comes from my love of history and living in an older country ;)

Hm, the UK has laws for clubs, pubs, entertainment venues to play music and this is collected to pay artists (I forget the exact name of it, and dont' know how good it is TO artists in reality, iirc it's something like £500/year for a venue?). However, I think that is a valid model to consider in the future. If peopel spend their lives creating art, that enriches society, why shouldn't they be rewarded for it?

Makes much more sense than letting MPs vote themselves pay rises etc, lol.
