No, I'm not turning her in -- heck, I LIKE Annette. But are you suggesting that anybody should be entitled to reprint any copyrighted material they want to on the web without consequences? If so, I assume you've never depended on your pen for your living. And are you suggesting that anybody should be entitled to post untruths and slanders without consequence just because they do it on the web rather than in a newspaper? I believe in free speech as much as anybody -- heck, I was on a library board when we (successfully but after many personal attacks) fought attempts to get us to take certain books off our shelves. BUT, I believe that you can have free and robust speech without stealing (which copyright violation is) or lying or defaming.
