   That's very sound reasoning.   
   I do the same thing with my copyrighted material.   
      
   Consider a separate and non related reason for   
   pursuing copyright compliance. That is when these   
   young kids steal your images in the name of   
   "research". Those young kids are the miso's and   
   Chuck's and Glen's of the next generation. Then   
   can learn to do accurate, honest and ethical   
   research or they can print stolen or non-researched   
   material.   
      
   If we help these young cheeto eaters learn what's   
   right vs what's wrong in terms of investigating   
   and reporting, we might get just one of them   
   to turn out to be the next miso once the old   
   miso is long gone.   
      
   Some of them are still going to take the unethical   
   approach. They're going to be the ones posting about   
   grays eating missing children and underground tunnels   
   between the Panamints and Dulce.   
      
   But maybe just one of them will become an honest   
   and ethical investigator.   
      
   There. You didn't know you were the bodhisattva   
   did you..:-)

   Yes, but it doesn't translate well in ascii.
