I perhaps didn't phrase that 'trawling the galleries' post too well, Fyrene. As Dodger said, it is always nice to see when people have used my own (free) stuff in images, so I'm pretty sure a lot of people producing models for free or for sale must feel the same way. The new facility to add credits gives an easy way for any merchant to check for images using their products (providing people remember to add credits), and once or twice I've had merchants popping by to comment on credited work- thank you to those who have, I appreciate it. I've nothing against people keeping an eye on the galleries just out of curiosity to see who's made use of something. I'm also not critisizing people who spot a product (or an image, for that matter) that has been deliberately pirated. I have every sympathy for merchants who have seen their work stolen and watched others making money out of the theft. I DO, hoever, think it's going over the top to scrutinise every single picture that appears for any and every sign of potential piracy. That way lies paranoia. Hope that makes my point somewhat better!
