Now, I have no problem with Tim's article on the merits of his argument as they relate to the copyright laws. BUT, the following is part of his article: > Otherwise, there would be no way for the artist to make money, > and there would thus be less motive for people to go to the trouble of > making their art available at all. I have a hard time imagining an "artist" with a name such as Weird Al Yankavich, and a piece of "art" called Eat It!! :-) :-) Be careful out there. H.
