Nobody wants to answer this one? It's when you use an "object" type sumti in a place that requires an "event" type sumti. For example {rinka} means "event x1 causes event x2", so you can't say {le brife cu rinka le nu lei tricu cu desku} = "the wind causes the trees to shake", because the x1 has to be an event. > Why is it so often called illegal? I don't know, but it has nothing to do with copyright violations :) > What is the penalty for doing it? If you're a first time offender you may get away with a simple warning, but after that they can give you up to two years. You can always try to appeal, but in general that doesn't help much. > Bob Weiss > Jorge
