I’m wanting to creating an offshoot of my support group for my mental illness that’s like a philosophical book club.

What I was wondering is this: Can I publish this wor ..read more

I know this sounds strange and the answer seems really obvious, but I just saw an article about how a student copied an artist's artwork from the internet and put it on their university's exhibit.
