Pretty simple. Lets say I'm making hamburgers and selling them. You bought one, tasted it and then made copies of it, invited friends and you ate them. Did you steal something from me? No. Did I get less money because you didn't buy hamburgers from me, but copied them instead? Yes. Was it theft? Of course not. Now, tell me, what is the difference?

Not so simple. Only if they copied your recipe. Art isn't food. * David Beardsley * http://biink.com * http://mp3.com/davidbeardsley

DB> Not so simple. Only if they copied your recipe. Art isn't food. I cannot see the difference. You think that cook doesn't deserve as much as a composer of movie actor? And, sorry, I didn't get the recipe thing. So, what if they copied my recipe?
