Now you're rationalizing that in essence , you copied something, which you've just been arguing is stealing.
It's like going onto somebody's property, and taking away a bucket of dirt,
And then saying it would be ok, if they don't notice they are missing the dirt...
regardless the fact that you took away the dirt, from their property, without permission...
"their estate was not impacted by the 10 lbs bucket of dirt".
At least it would be if you keep up the jibber jabber that copying is stealing...
Either you think it's stealing, and you stole the 64x64 picture
or it's not stealing, in which case it's time to walk away from the argument that copying is in deed stealing.
can't have it both ways.
