If I do say so, this has been an interesting thread. 'Lots of views and some wonderful comments. After reading this comment, it reminded me of the old game "Whisper."You know the one, you whisper something in one person's ear, who then whispers it into another ear, and another and so on. By the time it gets back to the original whisperer, the story has changed dramatically.
In my post, I stated that I already knew how I would eventually handle this and in the interest of conversation, asked, "how would you respond?' I did not ask for opinion or affirmation.
If I seem weak to some for dreading confrontation, so be it.
I have mellowed with my years and no longer see the need, nor do I have the time, for any confrontation. My time is too valuable.
That said, my "acquaintance" will be coming by tonight.
I think it's time.
I am simply amazed at the sheer number of pages on this topic when you already know it is a violation of copyright law as stated in your thread. Why would one need opinions or affirmation in doing what you know is right and legal? For me and I would hope many others it is a no brainer. Not being harsh or anything just wondering.......it should be obvious that a friendship is not worth having if they wanted you to break the law.[/quote]
