All web design students, hobbyists, etc., I direct you to: http://www.extortionletterinfo.com/ <br /><br />KNOW any images you use on a website. That is, know the copyright status of each and every image. This is becoming a very crucial area of web development it seems. There are examples of cases where people have purchased Adobe products for web design, images included.
