I disagree ZHANN, for instance - I had put up a LATCHWORM model in the POSER directory, and in the BRYCE freebies directory I had put up a series of ships and mats to be used in scenes. Now people could use these for both commercial and non-commercal use AND they did NOT have to give me credit. WHY? - simple - they are DESIGN ELEMENTS - not COMPLETED WORKS in and of themselves. They are meant for people to use to create their own stuff.

If you make MATS and PRESETS - post them in a freebie's section - and then tell people "sorry, but if you use this preset(s) for artwork that your gonna make and then sell, then you'll have to pay me!" - then your playing a dirty trick. Freebies are things that should be truly free, not catch 22 "royalty traps". If you don't want people to use stuff that you made for free - then get the stuff out of the "FREEBIES" section and put them in your Rendo ' store. Poor and low income artists who have access to computers use free things because they can't afford to buy them. If I give something to the community - I give something that has value, not something that represents a feigned attempt at generosity.

Of what value is a work of art - if the artist is forbidden to profit from it because a minor design element or secondary component came from somebody who just "pretended" to offer it for free? I'll have to go through my Bryce Mats to make sure I don't have any of yours - because I don't want to be getting any letters from your lawyers.

"Oh and if it was a freestuff item you definitely should charge them" <- This is a GROSSLY hippocritical statement...
