I'm a writer and I've never had a problem with plagiarism, and there are plenty of laws available to protect me if I did. This is a great illustration (ha) of how we can either live in abundance, or fear. Excellent points from both Charley and Ben.

I've read some random articles and parts of articles, but since I've subscribed to the RSS, I'll read it all in a while. Just wanted to drop you a line and say that you have a great blog!

I think it's a really weird hangup for artists to have, and oddly, it seems pretty pervasive among fine artists (and galleries) too. That's even weirder to me, because they aren't even selling their work for reproduction, and yet they still seem to think that its necessary to restrict their websites to postage stamp-sized images, often with right-click saving disabled. I would think that both fine artists (and the galleries representing them) and illustrators would very much want web surfers to get a good look at their work. And if those viewers want to download the images and keep them on their hard drive, even better! How much money does the average artist spend on postcards and mailers and leave-behinds to accomplish what is, essentially, the exact same thing? A lot, that's how much. It's utterly absurd.
