First - and I apologize for the length - but i'm going to post the full article (with the author's permission) by Mark Simon, from last month's Animation World Magazine.

Here is a post by Kos that I TOTALLY agree with and we all need to be better at this. His site is especially vulnerable because it is so big and it is watched by so many.

Looks like I'm in a meta mood today. But I've had to ban a bunch of people recently for copyright infringement, and that brings me zero joy (unlike zapping assholes, trolls, and wingers).

Look people -- I'm taking copyright violations seriously. We have the benefit of being in a medium where we can easily direct people to source material via hyperlink.
