also i notice 2 important points you brought up.. #1 u.s. copyright and #2 the berne convention.. there are countries that havent signed the berne convention.


p.s. i did build a hun ripper , it grabs the huns latest galleries and turns the galleries into long videos. Its actually quite a cool tool. I didnt think it was a problem really, it would be awfully hard to steal thehun's thunder especially when most of the galleries have his thumb so even if someone recreated an exact replica of the hun , all the branding is thehun's
As I remember the ruling was that a list of links is a database and a database can be protected by copyright. This was all very relevant to me at the time since I was selling a directory TGP script that was capable of harvesting links from other sites.
