Good lord, NO I dont condoned content theft by the individual!

There seemed to be a serious problem with people equating the difference between distributing for profit, and possessing. While both are theft, they are NOT equivalent crimes. They just arent.

One of the things with image content is that it downloads as a "stream" you could say. Everyone visiting this site right now is "downloading" all the jpegs and gifs contained. We are not stealing it, although we all possess a copy of it. Ok, but we arent adding the layout of this page to a collection of page layouts, offering them as content, and running ads along side them.
