I looked at them mostly as a fan "extra" and often used them to turn a friend onto an artist I liked. That is why I used the word "intention" in my last post. I really wish it were that simple now but unfortunately, it's not. I think it's such a shame that all of this had to become a legal matter.

Let your conscience be your guide...
