I am an artist. I make my living from the proceeds of my work. I take a very dim view of people copying my work (which has happened).

I have yet to have somebody say - I know that I took your design for free, so come on in and I'll give you free medical care for a year.

For some reason, everybody believes very strongly that whatever they do for a living entitles them to make money from it. Except people in the arts are supposed to do it so people can 'share' it.

Frankly, I don't get it.
