Yes, but where do you draw the line? Seems that everyone has
a different idea of where the "line" is, and even if a fansite
that self-polices itself, the copyright owner may still think
that the website has gone too far.

I'm sure that many would consider my "UFO Series Home Page"
as having gone too far, with it's high-resolution photos,
transcriptions of original scripts, and MP3's of music. But
so far, the only contact I've had from Carlton was to make
sure that they were identified as the copyright owner. So
either they're not paying attention to what's there, or
they don't care.
