You know, copying something that someone else did and using it for
your own use is fine if it's clip art (or some other type of public
domain work) or if you're in elementary school and working on a
project. Adults should know better than to take work that has not
been done by them and is not clip art-type stuff then use it without
permission. Plagerism of any sort is not a good thing and reflects
badly on the person who's done it. Many of the artists who frequent
this forum have had thier work - be it pictures, text, etc. -
"borrowed" without permission. I don't think anyone here would be
as upset as Kree is without good reason. Removing the item in
question is not solivng a problem, it's avoiding the ethical and
legal issues surrounding it.

On an off note, one of the lists I'm on has had a 'bitching and
slagging' week wherein people vent their anger over all the things
that drive them crazy. Web pages that have been up for years but not
updated in some time didn't make it on to my rant (people who make up
thier own history a la the Cleopatra business a bit further down the
page did), but should have. What's the point of having a page,
especially one related to a business, and not updating it? And
what's the point of having an email address there that doesn't work?

All the

: art, me included. It's all copied from somewhere! The email address

background
