i mean if i just read the copy on line without coping the file can it or can it not get me in trouble for pricey/plagerisum and stuff. especially from this sight. all the warings i have read warn against coping not vewing. just wanted to know.

would there be a situation where it would be illegal? if so what?

When you view anything online, what really happens, you download a *copy* of it to your computer anyway. Information needs to travel from one computer to another. When you view an image that is hosted on a remote computer, the remote computer sends you a copy of the image. That's the way it works, otherwise you wouldn't be able to view the image at all. Don't worry about online legalities, it only gets messy if you try to redistribute the stuff offline, like on DVDs. Online, there's no legal basis for copying, unless a work of art is being ripped off and plagiarized.

Sorry for gravedigging!
