You're making a "fair use" or even explicitly expected use of it at home with a small group of people. But distributing something, even for free, flies right in the face of copyright because you don't have the right to do so. Only the copyright holder, and their designated proxies, have that right.But you do have a point - blogs and especially fanfic, as a class of publication, are rife with copyright violations. Even a site like this one - take a look at people's avatars. How many of those are images that are under someone else's copyright? Quite a few. The difference is most of these hit such limited audiences that it's not worth pursuing them (or us) for damages or even issuing a cease and desist order.</blockquote>
