So far, I agree - we really don't need Bob Guccione et al. harrassing
us, and stuff I'm interested in (like the stuff Desmodus puts out;
Drummer, Mach etc) is on shaky enough financial ground that I don't
really feel right distributing it electronically far and wide.  Let
alone sell it.  However:

Because original art doesn't make your naughty bits act naughty?

Something "useful" like a still-life?? Or yet another sunset?? Sorry
guy, but I'd rather be looking at an attractive naked man than yet
another unfocused (artwise, not photowise) abstract/pastoral subject.
Other than nudes, *my* favorite things to digitize are Roger Dean
album covers.  I'm just not about to *sell* another artist's work.

Read my lips, babe: If you don't like it, *don't download it*.  If
you're a newsadmin, stop the influx of alt.sex.pictures (our local
site did).  But don't shit on someone else's picnic.  (hmm, did I just
make up a new cliche?)

No, I thought I'd waste some net bandwidth with a nice flame.
Immature and pointless, but it sure is more satisfying to know it's
falling on 40,000 sets of ears, only most of which may be deaf, rather
than one ignorant set.
