I agree with all of you. But it will not be looked at that way. Folks don't get as upset with someone who stole from a "non-person". "Sure, it's still a crime, but he didn't steal from Grandma." It's all in the generated perception that a good or even fair lawyer will produce.

A lot of this is driven by the people that want these flies. When a collector wants a absolutely correct fly, he or she will pay thousands to get it.
