Isn't the internet one big file sharing community? Isn't that what makes it work? I'm sure most images on the internet are copyrighted. Would that mean if I should choose to post a thread on the 'Titty Board', that I am risking being sued for copyright infringement. Or if I should post a link to several .mpg files, that I'd be breaking the law? Must I ask for permission from the New York Times to link to their site so that I may 'share' an interesting article?
