sweetjimmy said "copyright law on the net is unviable and obsolete." and i think you were getting at the fact that you cannot stop internet piracy.

but another side to that is that the laws are not obsolete in the sense that webmasters like us HAVE gotten their asses sued for using content that they did not own the rights to.

let's hear about some lawsuits. any stories on any webmasters getting sued?

i've heard of only 2 and the details are almost non existant... one dude lost about $5k for using some model's pics (that he took off her own internet site) and he refused to take them down. and another guy who used 'random' internet pictures was getting sued for $5k and settled our of court for $1k.
