So you’ve written your own version of Jim Kirk’s and Mr. Spock’s world-changing adventures, as they have popped into your mind. It’s totally your story – created one night when your muses played ‘tag’ within your imagination.
Have you asked Paramount for permission?
So you have engaged in a tiny bit of copyright infringement. No big deal, you say – if you get caught you’ll just change your content and who’s got time to sue you anyway? And, defendants in court have powerful rights…
Get this: “Innocent until proven guilty” and “proof beyond a reasonable doubt” are principles of criminal law. Copyright suits are civil cases! Ooops…

Hey, can I copy this and post it over at my Squidoo blog….oops…I just asked….darn it. Seriously though, I really think that there are a lot of problems with infringement, and most of them have to do with content pushers. “The more you get out, the bigger your footprint,” so people get lazy…yadda yadda yadda…….and we end up seeing the same copy everywhere. Not only is this morally wrong, but it’s plain dumb.
I can’t tell you how many times in the last month I have had to tell some one that they need to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack, else wise they will always be with the rest of the pack.
Thanks!

LOL….I’m sure there’s a guru who would tell you good job. You have the first step down. Next step; paste it somewhere else. Third step; build a lens with it. Then you’re in the money!
