[Leica] Plagiarism vs. Derivation (re. Prince/Abell)

[ricc at embarqmail.com (Ric Carter)]

I'll bet you a hundred bucks to a clipped toenail that the galleries  
and museums which tout this artsy farsty bs won't allow you to take a  
photograph in the gallery, and cite copyright as the reason.

Now, if you will excuse me, I'm going to zerox Lord of the Rings and  
find me a publisher.
