# I don't mind it being 'used'
it's when it's used for other people's profit when I get annoyed.

I think you've mentioned that actually.

# it's a trickly and murky ground sometimes...
... and sometimes this is used in a rather cynical and overbearing fashion, but for now, I'll restrict my comment to Rob's quote:

We all gotta eat. Many of us use the interwebs to promote our talent and allowing the free/conditional exchange of watermarked work is part of that - but when there's profit to be had, we will want and deserve our fair share (whatever that may be). I doubt Rob gave this same advice to Joel during the recent Coke unpleasantness:
