Well, this is probably going to open me up to more liability, but... I've had a Tron and Video Warrior texture available since January 2002. And I made a Recognizer back in December. I am not charging any money for these items and I include all copyright information in the readme file. So, in the spirit of copyright law, what would be the problem? Am I taking anything away from the "brand"? Am I "diluting" it with these items? Am I making money off someone else's ideas? Actually, it's just the opposite- I include a link to Amazon.com so people can purchase the Tron DVD... which makes more money for Disney. In reality, though, I don't think I have much to worry about. After all, if Lucas and Disney aren't going after people like TurboSquid (who sell copyrighted Star Wars, Star Trek, and Tron models), then why would they go after people who offer these items for free. --John
