Not getting into the whole copyright issue, as I'm not a lawyer, and it's
one of the most complex laws there is, because of the international
agreements (it's automatic here, btw, in the uk)...
...also as I have read the first part of the thread
However, purely for the sake of
I've had to learn way more about copyright law than I ever wanted
because I got into producing royalty free stock illustrations for an
international company. Dealing with the copyright side of my work
often takes much more time than the actual work.
Since it is a truly international company,
It makes me want to heave.
But, as you've noted, the law is what you have to follow when using
other people's work, not your personal standards.
I have not noticed at all that art is being killed. Certainly, in
terms of publications, there is a huge increase in the number of books

Oh yes, then you're using the willful confusion argument. Looking and
reading are not the same as copying. Copyright law literally governs the
right to make copies.
Again, all I see here is people who don't want to bother paying for
material or asking permission (pirates and parasites), so
Again, all I see here is people who don't want to bother paying for

No Chris, I am not going to get run around on this one yet again,
diligently looking up stuff for people who say they are confused and who
