oh lawyers has their purpose of course it was more of a joke from my part, without laws and institutions and lawyers to make sure people act according to them (especially when it comes to getting paid from your clients) it would be hard getting anything done, then again they sometimes do more harm then good to.

as for newspapers i never said there was different copyright laws and i never said that not being able to publish a photo with a group of people in it in a commercial project (or even non commercial website) has anything to do with copyright laws.

It was just one example which i felt was related to the thread since were not just talking about copyright here but intellectual property and all sorts of issues, i also said that im not 100% up to speed when it comes to newspapers (which you started to talk about phantast) since it doesnt affect my daily job, but wabe kindly butt in there, and in the end it wasnt that much different. ------ e.on: one thing that came to my mind, even tho i dont think people should use the scenes in their own renders i also believe that delivering a 3d application like vue where people cant use the content which it ships with would seriously cripple its value for alot of potential buyers. And if that is the case,failing to mention it in the eula and on the website before people buy the product is a seriously bad call.
