thanks for the timely reminder, Russell, with Halloween and Christmas festives coming up. I agree totally with your comments. to avoid breaching copyright, you need to make a substantial change to the image or text. what is substantial? joke: ask two lawyers the same question, and you get three different answers! I used to be a legal clerk, and that joke was standard issue in the legal division of a certain New Zealand Governmental Department I worked. hey, I've got a new blog idea!!
