Lizzie: I have no quarrel with you or Ruth: you're both posters on a board I enjoy. Whatever is between you and other posters is no concern of mine, except when it interferes with my enjoyment of an interesting discussion.

Ruth stated, and I have no reason to disbelieve her, that the site in question uses unattributed copy-pasted materials. You have not said that it does not. Perhaps you could clarify this.

Everything I have said, nonetheless, regarding using other people's material (including music), is true. It is illegal, harmful, and extremely frustrating when it happens to you. It is a particular concern of mine, and I always address it when it is brought up.

The site in question, by the way, is another impossible-to-use-on-dialup creation. It makes multiple copies of itself and presents under-screen adverts, plus loads with multiple errors. I have no technical problems with the vast majority of websites.
