Bribes, argh, we're down to bribes? A small custom proxy server would be a better long term solution - but I only kid. I seldom agree with Ron but this place would be a little less interesting without his contributions. I think his unusual excess on this issue is only a sign of how seriously he feels about it. Passion is good, though perhaps in slightly smaller doses. I only have Mike 1 and have no real desire for Mike 2 so that particular issue is academic to me. IANAL (I just discovered that neticism) I am not a lawyer, but to those who keep talking about the hypothetical court case... I imagine a beautiful day in Salt Lake City, U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, Hon. Judge Dee Benson presiding. I assume a copyright case goes to federal court but IANAL. Twelve Utah citizens, good and true listen to hours of testimony about morphs, vertices, approximation etc. The lawyer for DAZ, a small Utah company puts up Ron's picture of the two Mikes in their body suits and says that this here fella, from say New York City, is ripping off their honest fellow Utah citizens to the tune of 40 bucks each time someone uses his infernal thinagamabob. "Not a large amount, good people, but it adds up and my clients are not a big company like Microsoft. See for yourselves, do the two Mikes not look virtually identical. Justice demands..." I certainly can't predict the ruling, but then again, IANAL. And so, good citizens of Poserville, I must adjourn until/unless someone comes up with something other than more lashes for this poor equine. Use my bandwidth wisely.
