It was big--and I remember the author whose work was stolen was exasperated because some people were feeling sympathetic toward the thief because the other claimed that stress over her spouse's health, etc. etc. caused her to pinch the stolen paragraphs! The offended against pointed out that she had bills and ill health to deal with, too, but she hadn't stolen from anyone else...
The horrifying thing is, I don't remember who offended and whom was offended against...
I checked my first contract--Warner used a different numbering system. 12.) was Author's Warranties, 13.) Indemnity, and what I was remembering was Warner's clause 14.) Infringements--where we made changes that Warner did not object to. Dealing with copyright infringement, where Warner had the right but not the obligation to pursue copyright infringement. So Warner considered our changes to the Infringement clause reasonable.
