John, And I agree with you in most points. I like the Miller commercial, I understand that maybe it could be a little tricky to pursue this class of people in court and I understand the bad karma. However, it is not bad karma only. It really makes me SICK when I see work copied. It is not for reasons of copyright, money or whatever. People that use other work because of lack of imagination, skills, time, resources, or whatever don't enter in the category of human beings for me, less in the artist category. I don't anything about against students cheating and I don't have any "honor code" as most of the american people seem to have. I just can't stand people COPYING artwork, visual imaginery, whatever that has come from the minds of others. It is sad to see that this **** has reach. BTW, I don't have prooblems with people that use artwork (usually, universally or broad known) from other people for artistical purposes, understanding artistical purposes as criticism, parody, etc. but I understand the people who think this is illegal/unethical too. It is a matter of points of view. However, copying a painting/animation/sculpture/music/writting and presenting the work as own is… well, I have a hundred words in spanish to describe that. I guess that I don't have enough english language skills to do it, but I could learn very fast. ana /krazy images
