Oh didn't you know? Blogs don't count as real websites, silly. As long as you are just posting it to a blog, it's not really stealing.

Yes, I know, it must be true. And when I called him on it, he e-mailed me back promptly and apologized for the "misunderstanding."

Misunderstanding!?! How is right-clicking and saving half a dozen pictures and then copying and pasting a couple of sentences of my site's text into your blog a misunderstanding?

A misunderstanding is going to the store for your mother because she wants to make a batch of Brown's Sugar Cookies and you come home with a bag of brown sugar instead of white sugar.
