  25. Copyright protects the original author of a work against loss of income.
  26. If you take a frame from a movie and put it on t-shirts you sell, you're
  27. not competing with the movie--in fact, it could be argued that you're
  28. helping to advertise it for free--but it's a violation of copyright and
  29. you can be successfully sued.  The notion of "competition" only enters
  30. for similar (not identical) trademarks used in different market spheres.
