The point is not lost on me... As much as I can listen to people rationalize their use of material for which they don't have the rights, I will not do it. I don't want to be an example case when the lawsuits start to happen. I also have respect for people who create works, as I consider myself one of those people, and if someone used my stuff in violation of the license I released it under, I'd be upset. I'm a big believer in Creative Commons, and I dislike seeing people just disregarding the copyright laws (even if I don't like them and think they are screwed up.) I use Creative Commons licenses to control what people do with my work, and they always have the option of contacting me for alternate licensing. This just seems to me how it should work, and I'd like to see more artists realize this as well. I thought Zadi's work was really well done, but I always feel a little sad when the good work that gets highlighted has a copyright violation soundtrack.
