The main thing was that you read it. I received it via email, and believe you me, I looked for a published source, but RP was not to be found. So I completely understand if you delete; the important thing (which I believe was the fundamental spirit of the subject matter) was that it be read.

So I apologize for pushing caltrops to the borderline...hold it against me as you see fit.


Oh, no - not a problem at all. We give people a warning or three as it is even if they're doing it intentionally, let alone by accident (God forbid this place gets popular that will have to change, but right now we're a small community). Don't sweat it. This isn't the kind of thing most people think of as copyright violation (as opposed to posting links to MP3s) so I seriously doubt you realized the problem. The other thing was I wanted someone to do this at some point so I could point it out to everyone on the boards and say "unfortunately, you're legally prohibited from posting that for reason X, too." The sad truth is that media companies are breaking out the lawsuits lately, so it helps if the participants here get the gist of copyright law as least as well as my own very rough understanding.

Personally, as you might guess, I eagerly await the day when people who honestly believe in the concept of intellectual property are looked upon as we now look upon flat-earthers. But my personal beliefs are meaningless in the face of my legal obligations.
