OK on the serious side...

Yes a option box verifying ownership of copyright is a good start. However we also need a note, comment or something to tell people that the images on the site are not for repost or usage "without express written consent of the artist".

I had an image stolen from the site (one of the Bondage Bride series) that was used in an online newsletter. I was alerted by a recipient of the newsletter and I promptly took action against the offender. Don't think she was real thrilled to get a cease and dissit order but thats too bad.

Point is that the legalities do not stop with the posters. The viewers need to be informed as well. A good copyright laywer is hard to find and in the case of Renderosity, a team of laywers that can interpret the law in many countries may also be a good idea. Thing is can the site afford that? Not and keep site what it is today.

Again, the law steps in a screws up a good thing.
