A web site is no different. This is a lame-ass and uninformed comment. If this is your argument, then please explain this to the U.S. Joint Ethics Committee which upholds copyrights for Graphic Designers. A designer may not actually *create* any artwork per se, but arranges them to create a certain *look and feel*. Easy, Marie www.floatingcode.com
