Cyberstretch, in addition to statutory law on copyrights, there is also common law and case law. I recommend that you consult a treatise on copyright law. I don't care enough about "winning" a debate that I'm going to do free legal research on the issue. If anyone would like to hire me to write a legal memorandum on the issue, however, drop me a line. I do find two things troubling. One thing is that there seems to be a low level of respect for property rights in works of art within this artists' community. The second is the level to which copyright concerns are ignored based on the fact that it is often more costly than it's worth for copyright-holders, such as those who contribute here, to pursue violations. Legal issues aside, I hope that lack of respect for contributors doesn't discourage future contribution.
