You WERE NOT personally attacked. Your question was the ONLY one I felt even marginally comfortable answering. As you will note, nowhere in my response did I state any part of copyright law. I asked a question of the general 'you' about how you would feel if it were done to you.
Two wrongs (or omissions) don't make a right. You don't have to know whether other people are doing what is right to do right yourself.
I was suggesting that we all place ourselves on the other side of the designers table.
And for some reason, no matter how carefully I or others phrase things on this board, someone is always willing to jump to the other end of the possible meaning. (Not just you MM, it seems a hobby here... :cry: :cry: :cry: )
