* Art is Property *

            You may not own a house, a gameboy, or a mouse, 
            A car, corporation, or tree.
            But, if you're an artist you have something,
            Much more valuable than these. 
            You've probably heard of Copyrights,
            But don't know what they mean.
            The right to decide who copies art,
            And do with it as you please.
            But there are pirates, rats and thieves out there,
            Who steal those rights away,
            And if we ever catch those guys,
            We're gonna make them pay.
            So go through our site and figure out,
            What Art Rights are all about.

 Computer #1 says:   Hey Comp 2, why are those weird people taking my information and giving it to you?
