Whoa folks! Not to step into the middle of the fray that seems to be starting, but I applaud Renderosity's position on this. Recently a file was put into freestuff that was in clear violation of copyright infringement. It however was due to lack of knowledge of distribution of that type of file. By having just one additional step involved in the process it protects RO from redistribution of copyrighted material. They are just covering their butts. For the past few hours I've been dealing with a copyright infringement issue myself with some of my renders being used in web sets by a designer to whom I've told no to repeatedly. I understand that many others give their approval for usage of their work, but when one doesn't, and others either blatantly or in ignorance do so, it's enough to make the blood boil. On this designer's site I saw renders from LisaB, LaurieS, Sinamin, Vali, and more along with mine. What makes it worse, is these images are made into web sets and then from what I can tell being redistributed by the web set designer, claiming them as her own. Yes, she has made the web set, but she didn't create the image. Ack, enough....but although my position may make me unpopular (and I love the free stuff as much as anybody), I truly understand the reasoning behind this measure. Blues
