Render... hmmm.  if the system doesn\'t have render extension then transparency 
is not possible.  You could, though, dim the images\' colors or make pixels of 
the image transparent in a pattern... that wouldn\'t look so bad...

Jefferson then declared the flaw in the notion of copyright as property. Unlike
tangible property, ideas and expressions are not susceptible to natural
scarcity. As Jefferson wrote of copyright, \\\"Its peculiar character, too, is 
that
no one possesses the less, because every other possesses the whole of it. He who
receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine;
as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.\\\"

Some might respond \\\"but we must do something to prevent piracy\\\". Maybe that\\\'s
true, but that \\\"something\\\" should not be reaching into the office of innocent
third parties and messing with their technology. Let me give an analogy of child
abuse.

We all abhor child abuse. We all agree that all reasonable steps should be taken
to prevent child abuse. But would we stand for legislation mandating video
survelence cameras in every room of every house and business in the country.
That would certainly prevent most child abuse. But look what it would do to the
lives of the 99% of us who don\\\'t abuse children.
