Excellent point. There are those artists that do not mind their images being used by others..with or without permission, and then there are 'certain' images by that same artist that he/she would rather be asked if it was ok to obtain the image.. Maybe I should've put this phrase**"Lucy and Geo: I think its great that you dont mind your images to be used for whatever pupose by others..but what if you sold those images for your very livelyhood?.. {some artists do} Would you still not mind someone coming along and taking your paycheck?"** in below the other one..I need to work on my context a bit I suppose...I was not refering ALL of my post above to monetary value, nor was it all aimed at any one person..As for Dj, I only posted what I know as an effort to keep them out of possible troubles... Opinions differ here, but I wouldn't advise anyone to openly admit to taking other artists images given the problems we have had on this site about 'snaggers' using others works..{if any of you remember that topic..it was about a Yahoo group using artists artworks for Incredimail stationary, and 'snagging' works from here at 'Rosity}
