Your images were not part of Renderosity except in that they happened to be posted here, by you. 2) Renderosity has always been part of EdgeNet since before it was called Renderosity. It belongs to EdgeNet. 3) Yes, all commercial enterprises are designed to return a profit. This includes DSI, the company owned by Jack and Ed which was contracted to run Renderosity for EdgeNet (recently dismissed). You might want to remember that DSI is a company if and when you choose to post your pictures elsewhere... 4) Renderosity/EdgeNet has been trying to make a profit with this site almost since its inception. The structure has been clear to see for anyone with open eyes. When you posted your images, you should have made yourself aware of the setup. It's your problem if you 'gave permission' by not actually looking to see what the place was really all about. As far as the ownership and indirect dollar value of your artwork is concerned, nothing has changed since EdgeNet dismissed DSI from running their site. Your artwork would have been just as safe, or unsafe, as it has been from the day you first posted it. You might want to look upon it that you made a kind of deal. You wanted to post your pictures in a popular, publicly accessed, online gallery; and the payment that you made for that service was that EdgeNet could, very indirectly, make money from them.
