It's pretty amusing, all in all. Everyone has been upset about graphic theft for a long time. So Renderosity tries to do something to discourage it (okay, it won't work for the dedicated thieves but at least it is a step). So then all the people who have been happily downloading without asking permission of the artists are upset because it is inconvenient for them. So is it true than that everyone only wants their own graphics protected against theft, but they want nothing to stop themselves from lifting any graphic they like? That's the feeling I'm getting. What a double standard that is. Don't even bother to tell me how upset you are about someone stealing your graphics if you are downloading without permission. Be hypocrites on your own time from now on. "Oh, no, it's not the same thing...because it is special me that's doing it and not some low life stationary maker." No, my dears. It is the same thing. No permission. You've no right to what someone else created. Be as convulted as you like in your protests but it is all the same. And it would take only courtesy and respect for your fellow artists to gain permission...which would probably be happily given in most cases. What does it tell you that you can't be bothered to do that little bit to show that you're an honorable human being. I'm sorry, that was asking a lot wasn't it. I'm gone from this thread. The bull being thrown around here is too much for me.
