Most people, it seems, are uploading material that has been published
elsewhere first. There is, interestingly, an issue of "substantial
changes" which, if applicable, makes YOUR version copyrightable in its own
right, even if you ripped if off of somewhere else. Digital reproduction
and issues of artistic ethics have collided and the courts have been awash
with the waves from it all. If you do not intend to add your own touch to
the work, be safe and credit the source somewhere in your file. I doubt
they would make a big deal of it. CIS is certainly not responsible
themselves, I can bet you. Ken Loss-Cutler
