So, I cannot mount/frame a photographic print that I have
bought?  I cannot write my name or underline or highlight any
sections in a book that I bought?  And if Boris sells just the
chips and not mounted slides, I cannot mount them so I can
see them in 3d?  Ha, ha, ha!!!  That's very interesting!!!

And I can tell you, I do not feel the least bit guilty for promoting 
good stereo photography in all its glorious forms.

You went out of your way to prove that I have violated the
copyright laws and I did something wrong.  While you are
doing research why don't you check the definition of 
"public showing".  If I was showing these slides in my house
to my friends, will I still be violating the law?  I mentioned
that the slide show was in private premises.  Can I show
Boris' slides to anyone else, or should I keep them to
myself (in 2x2 mounts of course)
