Well...this was an interesting subject to be sure! Lots of differing opinions and thoughts. I guess what I have learned from all this is: 1) I will NEVER use ANYTHING that belongs to ANYBODY to create ANYTHING unless I want to use it for my OWN personal use - just in case...UNLESS they give me express permission. [Actually, I don't do that now, but I for sure won't in the future either!] I don't want/need anyone to get mad at me/sue me/hate my guts/feel like I stole from them! 2) ANYTHING I make as a 'FREEBIE' will be just that - Totally FREE for the user to use for ANYTHING - There's just no point in creating a freebie that has restrictions cuz I can't keep trying to keep an eye on 'my' stuff. Of course this won't/doesn't apply to any artwork I create and put my name on - that stuff is/would be my own. But I know how hard/expensive it is to make all thses renders and constantly need new stuff for fresh content. If you are familiar with any of my work, you'll see that I do keep using a lot of the same stuff over and over because I'm not made of money and can't afford to keep buying stuff...unless I let my kids go shoeless. Hmmmmm - there's a thought! Summer is coming and kids can go barefoot! LOL So what I am trying to say is that I am getting into making FREEBIES so that other poor folk like myself can get new stuff for their renders...AND if I put it in the free stuff, I don't want to put restrictions on how they may use the stuff! OK then...I am going to shut up now! LOL Hope all has a FAB weekend and thanks again for all your wonderful input into this subject!!! Best Regards, Vicki
