That's true, most artists, especially writers, hate having large amounts of
people being exposed to their work. They resent it even moreso when it's a
group of people who would be responsive to their work, and would be
influenced by it. What irks them even more, is when this is done without
malicious intent, and when the distributor claims, truthfully, not to know
the origin, and makes no claims to its creation. Artists hate being heard.
I'm glad you made that point.
