Bob, I don't think it's good for the copyright issues to stay here on Admin, especially as much of what's being said ISN'T about yours vs ours in copyrighting. It's good for discussing at PSB too as your forums are not the only place many of us post to. It's a good idea for all people to be aware of copyright issues, not just about what they write, but about what they may quote or use that someone else has posted on diff sites.
As soon as a person modifies a picture in PhotoShop & stores their image on their hard drive, it's copyrighted. For example, Dreamer's work of your changing image is copyrighted. I'm sure you're aware of these sort of issues after your slip in forgetting to report your research to the IRB for approval. I'm not questioning that but only saying is I don't doubt you're much more careful now & have checked into what can & can't be used.
But few other people who normally post (or copy) from the internet are aware of these issues. Some don't care, but I'd hazard that most do. Hence the need to make others aware of the laws regarding internet copyright.
