heyas; um... what're you guys getting so upset about? dogface didn't say: 'okay, everybody, quit putting commercial restrictions on your free stuff.' he said, 'if you don't like seeing commercial restrictions on free stuff, then don't put commercial restrictions on YOUR free stuff, and then advertise that you don't.' basically. and i, personally, have to agree with this. why? because it is my own principal. i don't like seeing commercial restrictions on stuff -- doesn't mean i dispute your right to restrict things. but when i make free stuff, it does not have this restriction. so i put my freebie where my mouth is, i guess you'd say. :) (note to non-english speakers: 'put your money where your mouth is' is a phrase often used when somebody supports something in words, but not actions. for example, if a person says 'product x is the best product ever produced, buy 100 of them!' but they don't buy 100 of the suckers themselves, you'd say 'put your money where your mouth is,' meaning: quit talking about how much you like it and buy it, if you REALLY mean that.) i dunno, i think it's an interesting idea for artists who want to see more non-restricted items to get together into a 'coalition' to advertise their non-restricted freebie items. i don't think it'll actually happen, but... interesting idea. ;)
