New to the internet, Steve?

If you've done much browsing on the internet, you would probably know that linking to someone else's web site is pretty much fair game. On the other hand, copying something from someone else's web site and putting it on your own is generally frowned upon.
(In fact, I seem to recall a flap in this very forum about this very issue only a week or two ago....)
I would expect that when a normal person found out they had inadvertantly misappropriated someone else's work to rectify the situation. You know, replace the misappropriated material with a link, or something like that.
On the other hand, I would expect you to argue about this, just like you argue about everything else under the sun. In this, you have exceeded my expectations.
