If the harm is 'irreparable' then, presumably, no amount of compensation can possible compensate, if you see what I mean. So if you do misuse the image and Apple sue, all you have to do is tell the judge to strike out any compensation claims as they can't compensate.

If my negligence means you lose your little finger, that's irreparable, but you can still get financial compensation in the courts - to the tune of about �1000, if memory of my legal training serves. You say that 'no amount of compensation can possible compensate'. Wouldn't you accept a brand-new, top-of-the-range sports car in exchange for your little finger? There's a Man from the South who might just make you an offer. MST

Or do you mean as compensation for losing it, not in exchange? -- Woody www.alienrat.com

If the image is downloaded and put on a T shirt, why would you not beable to wash it? John |
