I was wondering the same thing but from a different angle. Anyone with enough tech sense to understand the trial is going to have bias. Anyone without enough tech sense to understand it is still likely to be biased, but also clueless.

I'm 19 years old, and although I've only been coding for 2-3 years, I love it immensely. I've always loved computers, but never really took the time to get to know the computer. My junior year of high-school, I took an intro to programming course, just to see what it was like. My parents are computer-illiterate,and I didn't haveany real tech-mentors. Nonetheless, I excelled in the course, discovered my passion, and have been attacking a programming career ever since. I can't explain it, but I love code. I might be an exception rather than the rule, but there's still people out there.

My comment is over the same topic too!
Copyright violation here we come.

Yes, protecting artists' works are good, but these pictures aren't even that similar!
Copyright in it's current form is abused, if copyright spreads to ideas, we're all sunk.
