i have had comments like that too, but ignored them, anyone does what he pleases i think, whether violating or with permission, i know there is always a risk that someone might use yer image or design for their own purposes, but i am sure that they will never get the chance to post it in here, for thats against the regulations of renderosity, and may you be able to find it, you can report that to one of it's moderators ... anyways if or when i see any of my 'borrowed' designs in one of their galleries, i call it a 'rape of my design' and will treat it that way also :-)) unless i have given permission to do so another way is to watermark your design, and thats not hard to do at all Harmen
