RE: [Leica] copyright violation

Ted,

I think Shockwave presentations are safe from theft but the stuff we do here
jpegs mostly are stolen as easy as a mouse click. Although most of the stuff
is fairly low res it's still theft. Now we really know how the record labels
feel. Although I have very little sympathy for those thieves.
