I have absolutely no idea how these things work (beyond what I've been reading in this thread), and don't really see myself resorting to legal options over a tutorial anyway.
For me, it's more about community ethics and respect than what the law says or doesn't say.

That's a very valid point Sarah, I know I have read where some copyright law is the same in Israel, also many laws differ in Europe. For instance both the 2-d and the 3-d are protected in Europe...but not in the USA. There are some laws that pertain to legally imported goods, but I haven't read as thoroughly on that subject. Guess I should, lol.
I also feel that ethics and respect are important factors here, but the community can't legally enforce them. I feel the law does become important when people apply their ethics model to another, and harm the other persons business.
