Legal Stuff

You know what? I'm not going to put you to sleep with all kinds of legal speak that I wouldn't understand anyway. What I will say is that creative people work hard to create the art, music, editorials, tutorials, photographs, and so on that they create for others to use or enjoy. And it's a small world, so believe me, chances are you know someone who creates content of some nature. Perhaps you're even related to someone who earns her living creating original software, movies, or whatever. Personally, I feel that it's not a question of whether it's against the law to use someone's copyrighted material in a way that she didn't intend to have it used. I just think it's immoral. That said....

In any event, I hope that, after you've started to learn the techniques that can be applied with this magnificent piece of software, you'll get out there and create hundreds or thousands of your own treasured works. Now flip through one of the projects, grab your digital camera, and go bug someone for a photo. Oh, yeah...whatever you do, don't forget to have some fun doing it. I mean, what's the point otherwise?
