I usaully give credit to everything, but thats more to inform the gallery viewers who wonder - gee how did he do that, or where did he get that, then to advertise for the product. Also I've found (esp in the case of Morris, and Face_off in my case, and other merchants that I've seen in other ppls galleries) That you get a lot of free tips from the people who created the item and knows how to use it the best. As far as IMing someone, or posting complants in their gallery for not giving credit (esp on bought stuff)thats just rude. I mean Pepsi doesn't require you to tell everyone that you're drinking Pepsi when you pour it into a glass, and Windows doesnt require that you post your os everytime you go online, (please don't give Microsponge that idea, cause it'll be in the next SR of xp >_< ) so why should they. It should be purly on 1 factor, does the artist feel that the merchant desirves credit and nothing else. Freebies, ok I can see, but it should say so when you DL it.
