I just noticed that my attorney Ivan Hoffman has an article on his site about copyright law and blogging that may be of interest to some of you:

Charles and Stephen, thank you for commenting.

Cheryl, I'm all too aware of how ignorant people are about copyright and how readily they will steal. Perhaps the most outrageous thing that has ever happened to me was recently when my former sales representative, Advanced Access and Point2Agent VA Cherie Young,  placed 11 of my Web site designs in her Web site portfolio as if she had designed them herself, a blatant violation of my copyright in these works. If I had sued her, she could have been liable for statutory damages as high as $30,000 to $150,000 for each of the 11 violations. Her pockets aren't deep enough to make a lawsuit worthwhile, however, so I used the takedown provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to get access to those pages blocked by her Web host. Read my blog about the process if you are interested in learning more about that process.

Thanks Suzanne, great post and heads up.  Lots to read.  I've bookmarked and will come back to it.  I am sure it is something I need to know.

Suzanne, I did and that was excellent.  Getting all 1's was right in line with the performance.  I believe that horse was doing the electric slide at one point!!!! 

At the end of the day, the horse could say >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Famous 18
