Hi Technoguy -

I wanted to address this very important question. Short answer - yes. No matter where that article appears, it would be illegal to replicate it without the permission of the copyright owner. Say you made a bells-and-whistles site for IBM. You busted your hump for months and you made a damn fine site that no one else has. Now imagine someone comes along - a writer, perhaps - who doesn't want to pay someone to design a new website for him. So he sees your site at IBM and decides it's exactly what he wants.

Think IBM is going to look the other way? Would you be happy that your work was being replicated without your permission, nor without payment?

I'm not trying to offend, but sometimes it's easier to see the situation from the other side.
