Dean is just mad that he is not the one with the money making scheme this
time.

"While copyright law makes it technically illegal to reproduce almost any
new creative work (other than under fair use) without permission, if the
work is unregistered and has no real commercial value, it gets very little
protection. The author in this case can sue for an injunction against the
publication, *actual* damages from a violation, and possibly court costs.
Actual damages means actual money potentially lost by the author due to
publication, plus any money gained by the defendant. But if a work has no
commercial value, such as a typical E-mail message or conversational USENET
posting, the actual damages will be zero. Only the most vindictive (and
rich) author would sue when no damages are possible, and the courts don't
look kindly on vindictive plaintiffs, unless the defendants are even more
vindictive."
