I disagree, to some extent. Copyright is important for the artist, although it has been hijacked by corporate interests (and estates). I think the artist is entitled to earn money from his/her creation for a given period of time (say, 20 years) before it enters the public domain. Otherwise there is no financial incentive to create.

Yeah, I need to clarify. Copyright should be limited to protecting the artist from imitators, resellers, replicators, etc. Derivative works, such as the sampling of music, departures on a theme (literary or painting) should be permitted.

Lum needs to Muppetize his avatar, I see.
How's that, Ken?

You gotta wonder what new people are thinking when they see all of our avatars... this has been far more successful than I anticipated.

Agreed! I am filled with glee!
I can be very persuasive. I think that Lum should be Rizzo the Rat. How about it, Lum? You joining the party, social dude?

Chess seems to be resistant to change, too.

Yeah, I haven't PM'd him yet, though. I PM'd Randy and got him to Scooterize himself, and mdrew's self-Oscarization was just something else.
Jack and Ray3 seem to enjoy being the hecklers, heh heh heh. Not to mention all the others. I think I'll need to release a new update soon. Sounds like an end of the day project, to treat myself to another day of work done. I mean an hour of work done.
