Thank you so much for this! I have been kicked and banned from several FaceBook groups for standing up for the copyrights' of artists. The thing I hear the most is "If I buy a book that gives the right to do whatever I want with it." I wish I had a dime for every time I have had to correct that notion.
The only thing we as artists can do is to continue to help educate the general public about what Copyright and Intellectual Property means and hope that they will see the damage they do.
