If we find out about it, we will certainly ask you to do so. Should you refuse to comply, or should your use of our material become wanton and widespread, we will probably make an effort to publicize your transgression.

In general, we think&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Customers will prefer to do business with those who create material, in order to foster further creation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The harm done by copyright violations is minimal<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Public shaming and shunning are more appropriate to these kinds of transgressions than is state-mediated, violent retaliation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jury judgments can be useful in extreme situations to further isolate the transgressor, but this will be expensive and useful only as a last resort in the most extreme cases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, we make it easy for you to use and benefit from our material in a moral way. You merely have to exercise <a title=\"Empathy\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zeroaggressionproject.org\/heuristic\/empathy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>empathy<\/strong><\/a>.
