Madmax Br5 said it all in #82 where he stated: "If people are concered about stealing, they may take their own steps to prevent it. They make a choice to post their images here, and they agreed to the TOS here: "Renderosity provides a variety of communication services to members. These include: forums, gallaries, chat rooms, message boards, and instant messaging. Any information provided by members using these services is considered public information and is logged. Renderosity has access to these communications and will review them if needed. Renderosity will not be held responsible and/or liable for information that members choose to share via these services. We strongly recommend that members exercise forethought and caution prior to disclosing any personal information while using these services." " Incarnadine in #59 said..."I give my work away. It is my pleasure to see it enjoyed." and in #10 he said "I make my images for the purpose of the joy I experience creating them and the fact that others like them enough to use them as wallpaper (and I know that they do) is purely an added bonus to me. " By our own free choice we post our work here. We know what chances we take when we do post our work. I am no Picasso by any means. I do this for fun and because I love art. I would be flattered if someone wanted something I did for their wallpaper. But I think that there is no need to do this disabling of the rt click. Renderosity is not responsible if one of our images shows up somewhere else and has someone else claiming to be the artist. That is our own responsibility. It is up to us to persue it ourselves. If a thief steals my neighbors car, am I responsible to get it back for my neighbor because I live on the same block as he does? I think not. I also think that we cannot hold Renderosity responsible for stolen art work if that is what you choose to call it. You posted it. You took the chances. You suffer the consequences, and persue the theif. Personally, I don't care if someone wants to download an image I did. It just says that someone likes what I have done. That is satisfaction enough for me. 8)

There are 10 kinds of people: Those who know binary, and those who don't.
