    It's a bit naive to assume that the legal information listed on
    SmartFlix's own site is completely correct and true of the varying
    complexities of copyright law. 

    Further research and 4 different lawyers provided me with more
    accurate information. It isn't that SmartFlix operates exactly within
    the law; it's that they know few could pay the exceptionally huge
    expense of taking them to court over copyright violation, which you
    too would know if you had read my initial email. 

    Yes, they paid for 3 copies, ordered separately and rather
    anonymously. 

    Do you believe that if you sell three pieces of jewelry, you can
    afford to give away 30? 

    Do you not expect to be compensated for your time, energy,
    expertise, and efforts? 

    Do you believe that those of us with special artistic skills are
    bound by any particular set of morals to give our time and expertise
    away and are not deserving of using our talents to pay our mortgages
    or put our children through college? 

    If so, such attitudes are what keep the arts struggling in most
    economies.
