Elizabeth, the problem I ran into with copyright infringement wasn't that I couldn't prove it, the problem was that it would have cost me a fortune to fight it - and since they weren't making money off of using it I wouldn't have gotten anything out of the suit but the right to tell them to remove it. Has that changed?
And (on a different note) while I am first in line to protest someone lifting someone else's work and calling it their own, I do believe that there's a difference between that and being inspired by something. If we weren't allowed to be inspired/influenced by other works of art, entire movements in art would have ground to a halt after the first couple of paintings.
