    Since you have recieved karma for a simple cut and paste of Mr. Gibson's work I wonder if you can be sued.

    Sure it's only karma not money, it's not like you can go down to Krispy Kreme's and buy a chocolate glazed and a coffee with karma, but you still profited, you recieved something for someone else's work without even giving credit to the original author! The only thing you wrote was 'In case of a sh,4sj0b' and at least to me that dosen't say 'Written by William Gibson reproduced with permission'.
