Im sorry marcschum, but ill have to repeat the importance of copyright on images, and this pretty much goes for both freebie work, as well as commissioned ones. If possible, ALWAYS sign a contract that will insure that you will keep all rights for the image. Even if Marc isnt making any money from it now, someday he perhaps will. To name an example, lets say that he gives away all rights for a piece, and six months later, a guy offers $1000 to use that image for a record cover/magazine etc... Ive had people contacting me on some of the oldest stuff posted in my gallery, and im glad i hold the copyright for all those images. It has often payed off. My point is, never give away all rights for an image, if you can license it out. :)
