    1. ...and if you make money off of it, it's copyright infringement, which carries fines.

      Easier to be hard on my students now, with regards to plagiarism and grades, than let them get smacked with a $750 fine later, when it might really hurt.

Sorry, folks. A hundred plus spam comments in an hour equals moderation on older posts, so until further notice...you're gonna have to wait for your comments to be approved before they show up.
