Using copyrighted material

[charlie neville]

What is the name of your state? Maine

Copy right laws exist to protect an artists financial interest in what they've produced. Am I correct here? If this is so and I use copyrighted
material on my web site, acknowledging that it's copyrighted and attributing it's creation to the copyright holder; and I'm making no money
from my web site, am I safe in using the material?

thanks

charlie
