Hanford, Nice try on the decals but mine are made from hi-quality, 2-mil vinyl guaranteed to last for years without cracking, peeling or fading. Yours are obviously HACK! Seriously though, you do make an excellent point. However, who here can honestly say they have never burned a music CD from a disk they did not buy, taped a record and then gave it to a friend, made a copy from a book or magazine at Kinkos and used it in a presentation, recorded a movie from TV onto VHS and then let the babysitter watch it, drew a picture of Mickey Mouse and had it printed in your school annual. etc, etc. Cut and dried that makes most of us guilty of copyright infringement and I bet most of us don't feel like we did anything immoral, illegal or wrong. Let face it we are breaking laws that are obviously not up to date with the modern world. Nowadays, if you want complete control over your "property" then you should never let it out of your head. I am not saying that this is fair, only that there needs to be the acceptance that when you make something public you are going to lose some control of it .There will always be a method or a person that can take what is yours and copy it. Maybe what needs to change is the perception of ownership. If you put it out there, you no longer own it completely and if it is any good you should expect your work to be duplicated by somebody and they are not going to ask your permission.
I'm Pau, back to tikis.
