Valid points, PatriceJ. I guess I was thinking of non-copy write protected photos, like my quilt block. Just a picture I took of a block I was working on.
Items that are protected should definitely be respected and treated as the law's protection provides.
As far as ethics - I try to 'do unto others' etc and treat everyone with respect....wish the world lived by this simple rule, too.
