Copyright laws protect writers' economic interests in their works.

Violating

these laws is not a minor offense. Statuatory and other damages can add up

quickly.

Don't be a Nark.

It's not a matter of being a narc (short for narcotics, a reference to an
officer who works to capture those accused of peddling narcotics) in any form.
Copyright infringement is theft -- and you only take issue because the theft is
more abstract than if Jon Lindsay were, for example, "loaning" other persons'
cars without the permission of those car owners. I would similarly notify a
neighbor or appropriate authorities if I witnessed a theft occurring right
before me; I suspect you would, too. This issue is no different.
