[AT] Grain Binders and nudity....

	As I said in my post, Rick, a simple letter "c" in a circle would
indicate copyrighted material, not that it is needed any more, and would
be enough protection. There was no need to put that large banner over the
scans. I read the posts about that character copying files and then selling
them over the Internet but think it was an isolated case that could have
and should have been stopped with a quick email to ebay. They are quick
to act on copyright issues, as they should be. We will always have criminals
among us who don't care for our laws and they can be handled accordingly.
I have only ever had several people try to cheat me or steal from me in
my lifetime and they have been well taken care of.
