LOL. It's not "essentially flawed". It's not perfect - trying to cover every copyright law set from every country is impossible. The GIF info is out-dated, as is the MIDI, but it's of course up to each individual to know his own nation's copyright law. This is a general guide - generally intended to encourage people not to steal other people's content, and to point out that if they do, the law is against them. I have very little tolerance for plagiarism. 99% of the info here is correct for most western countries - not just USA.
Anyway, this thread is dead - I think most people know what they're allowed to do or not, but at the time when I posted it, there were 3 "legal questions" threads underway - so i simply decided to answer them all in one. Maybe when people start stealing your hundreds of hours of work as they have mine in the past, you'll start taking a greater interest in informing the community of why stealing is wrong.
