Howdy folks...

Well, there's good news and there's bad news.

First,  the good news.  For users of PhotoImpact, I have found an absolute
wealth of wonderful tutorials and "stuff" and thought I would share the URL:

http://www.eastofthesun.com/pi/

With a bit of fossicking around through links, you will find all sorts of
good stuff.

Now the not so good stuff.

There's a forum on the site which is, IMHO, worth a read if you are at all
concerned about copyright infringement and if you're not, then you should
be. A visit here will really open your eyes.

Check out the two links in the first message on the forum and try not to
have a heart attack.
It looks like these guys really mean business and I don't blame them for
wanting to protect their stuff, but boy! do they know how to use what looks
to me like strongarm tactics. I sure wouldn't want a visit from them.

I harken back to what was pointed out earlier on in the week. The only way
you can ever be certain that you are not breaching copyright is to make
*everything* yourself, but if you can't make whatever it is that you
want...read the fine print.

It's a jungle out there :))))
