I don't even know what koolaid is, other than a softdrink.
Never tasted it, never even seen it.

And still, we have no proof that roy actually DID do anything wrong.
We have the word of erik, but what value should anyone place on that?
Even if erik DID contact the owner of the image, how does the owner know
without first TALKING to Roy? 

Copyright owners aren't omniscient, maybe roy has got the image from a third
party in a perfectly legal way.

And even if not, maybe he got the image via google images and didn't SEE the
copyright message on the webpage (but still put the link there redirecting
people to the parent page out of courtesy).

Frankly, there are so many ifs buts and maybes about this rubbish it's
pointless even pursuing it. even if he did commit the heinous crime of
copyright violation to the sum of 5p, wow, what a crime, that is. How will
linux ever recover from such a transgression, it's the end of the world!
(Oh, by the way, I was being sarcastic)
