   You still don't understand.   
   Somebody could take your work, copy it, and go national - making millions.   
   Happens all the time.  Weirdo inventor makes something awesome.  Tries to   
   sell it from his basement - nothing gets done.  "Silverstein Holdings   
   International" gets a hold of it, copies it, patents it, and sells it to   
   everyone on the face of the Earth using Amazon.  Then little inventor   
   tried to sue with his lawyer who got his online law degree from Devry and   
   gets his ass kicked.   
      
   Note how I am defending your right to earn a living doing what you do.   
   Good product + reasonable price = capitalism   
   Mediocre product + useless justice system + corrupt government = fascism.
