Theres nothing wrong with freebies, i think its up to the creator of the image to decide, but honestly guys, sometimes it can be over used. Ive seen some terrible examples of that in the Poser forums.

Under the credit line:

Buildings by ...
Props by ... (there were about 200 of them, all freebies)
Lighting by ...
blabla blabla by ...

And the list went on like that forever...

This person had basically put everything together and put the nametag on the pic.
OK, i dont argue about this being art or not, it was a nice piece, but nothing in the scene was made by this person, and this was no newbie.
Personally, i think that at least SOMETHING should be done by own hands. :)
