Fanart is illegal? "Marks" put on artists who does fanart? What that-?! Is this Nazi Germany? The USSR? I know we're under a Bush, but come-on, That's ridiculous!!! You mean to tell if a kid draws R2D2 on his notebook the copyright police will rip up his notebook and smack his little hands with a ruler? Of course not! People love to draw things they love, whether it be a movie, novel, book, comic, religion, popular figure, mythology etc. So what if an artist's chosen art form is Poser isn't of a notebook, canvas, or wall? Modern myths are public domain. Public figures are public domain. Popular culture is public domain. You can't slap someone with a copyright infringement for saying, "Shagadelic!", or using "I'll be back" as the headline in magazine story. Why are images any different? Imagine if there were copyright issues with the Bible. How many artist throughout history would be sued or thrown in jail for daring to show Jesus(tm) without first making a donation to the church for the right to use Jesus' name or likeness? Come on this is silly. And I find hard to believe that any movie studio, publisher, record company etc would smash the hands of artists who give tons of FREE publicity, keep their "product" in the public eye, and breed rigorous brand loyalty. You can't even buy that kind of a cult following even if you wanted to!!! Why would they alienate their most loyal customers? That would be stupid. I think Renderosity should reconsider their position on giving "marks" on artists who "dare" to use anything recognizable in their art. bB
