Some folks actually make a living, raise their kids, pay their mortgage by
selling copyrighted work. The next time you think about making a "freebie"
for your own use, think about someone getting a portion of your next pay
check.

Depends on what you are going to do with the reproduced piece? If it is
for personal use or you're going to give it away free (or as a gift),
have
at it. Copy all you want. Just like making personal copies of CD's,
records or tapes, etc. If you are reproducing to make profit, then you
can get into a lot of monetary trouble, at the very least. Copyright
owners frown on you making money off of their work.


Common misconception. While they do frown on you making money from their
work, they also frown on not making money from you. You may make a copy
of
a record for use in a second player, but no, you are not allowed to give
it
away. Just because millions of people have done that, it is still not
legal.

Try copying a Mickey Mouse on a Tee shirt and wear it to Disneyworld.
They
are one of the staunchest fighters for copyright protection and have gone
after grandma that put the Disney figures on kids clothing.
