Lyrra's said it, I've said it, so now I'll say it again. This all comes from the Free Stuff pages: "If you must link to a web page due to the nature of your ISP/hosting service, the FREE content MUST appear on the same page that is being linked to in the Free Stuff gallery entry." So we'll be checking that the link doesn't take you to somewhere where you have to go hunting for the freebie. "By providing a link to a Free Stuff item, you are representing that you are the sole owner of the intellectual property being offered. You agree to indemnify Bondware Inc. in any dispute which may arise regarding products that you offer through this site." So, as before, the onus is on the provider of the freebie. Simply by uploading you are telling us that it's yours to give away. If it turns out otherwise, i.e. we get a complaint on it, it'll be removed. We can't verify the authenticity of every linked freebie submitted. It would be beyond any site or organisation to do that. "We reserve the right to delete links to content and websites that we deem unsuitable for this community and its Terms of Service." So, no porn site links and any other type of site that would result in the link being pulled anywhere else on the site. "The links MUST BE TO FREE ITEMS. Any links found to non-free content will be immediately deleted." Nothing new here. "The content being linked to in this Free Stuff gallery has not been tested by Renderosity. Before opening any of these files, observe the usual precautions regarding files obtained from the Internet. We cannot guarantee, and will take no resposiblity for losses and/or damage caused to your computer due to use of any of these Free Stuff items. " So no, we're not guaranteeing that it's virus free. We can't do that, for just the reasons that kawecki mentioned above. "Renderosity does not host, or test, or in any way sanction or endorse these files/links but is providing this link database as a service to our members. " So it's just that. A database of links to free items. But it's a database of links that won't lead you to a porn site and won't require you to wade through a website to find the freebie. That's what we're trying to do.
