Copyright

You may think that it is all right to just look past the copyright laws because your are not going to be the one to get caught, but the truth of the matter is that you need to be mindful of the fact that it is important to keep these laws.  

Romans 13:1-2 says, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.  Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment."   

This means that we need to obey the authority that was put over us, meaning that we must obey the laws put in place for copyright.  We must not overlook the fact that we are supposed to get a license for the use of other people's work.  It is our responsibility to do the right thing even if it is going to make the task more difficult.  We must not try to get around the laws, but rather follow them because we are under the authority of them.
