A photograph is a piece of paper with silver on it.
A drawing is a piece of paper with charcoal on it.

No one's ever going to accuse you of invading their privacy or compromising
thier rights with a piece of paper with charcoal on it.
But a  piece of paper with silver on it and they call their lawyer.

Why?

They think a piece of paper with silver on it is real!!!

A piece of paper with charcoal on it is only a piece of paper with charcoal on it.
It's not real. It's just a drawing.

Is a piece of paper with silver on it to them is real!
	 more real than a piece of paper with charcoal on it?

OF course not!

A photo is real but a drawing is not?! Why? How could this be true?

It's paper with black stuff on it!!!!

No one very seems to get that!
