Kevin Smith | Re: copyright…

leges de "copyright" varia de paises, e poca vera paises ave no leges
esta ora. en plu parte de mundo, me creda ce es nonlegal distribui
cosas con base de cosas "copyrighted", ance si tu no gania moneta.
razona de la es ce alga persona ce oteni un copia sin paia, probable
no va compra un copia ofisial. donce persona ce ave "copyright" perde
moneta.

Copyright laws vary from country to country, and a few countries don't
even have strong laws yet. But in most countries, I believe it is
illegal to distribute works derived from copyrighted material,
regardless of whether or not you make money. The idea behind it is
that anyone who gets your free copy probably won't buy the official
version, thus depriving the copyright holder of money.
