There's been some discussion about liability and "covering themselves" from Renderosity's standpoint. Just a question... What happens when the screener doesn't catch a copyright violation. It's clear that now (as in the case of Kaazaa (sp?) noted above, without review, the site is not responsible for what people post. If 'rosity starts reviewing, do they then become responsible for always being correct? I don't know the law, just a thought... Additional comment, this does seem to create less incentive for the very casual freestuff poster to share stuff (another step that has to be done). Perhaps some more efforts featuring and recognizing the good freestuff would help create incentive... the contest this month seems to be a good example of that!
