Re: more american competition at it's best

What got stolen? Copyrighted works. Ask around the DI Forum and ask them if they consider the "theft" of their photographs to be stealing? 99.99% of them will come back and tell you that it IS "theft". Just because the copyrighted works are owned by "BIG BUSINESS", doesn't mean that they're not protected.
Well as much as you would like it to be theft and as much as the media industry would like it to be theft, IT IS NOT THEFT.

The law says it is copyright infringement (assuming it meets the req'ts and is not parody, comment, educational or other fair use). If you want to call it theft, get the law changed.

and a pirate is a person that robs people on the high seas.
