Quote - is that what i said? i thought i actually said ....of course only if the owner gives their permisson.

I wasn't inferring that's what you said billy423uk, I was merely stating my point of view.

Interesting thoughts mrsparky, but we already have a level of protection against some ringtone company selling an image without permission, it's called copyright and that's a fair enough balance to me. Creative Commons is all well and good, but I don't put my images up for the general public to use without permission and I grant permission on an individual basis only. Creative Commons is certainly an option for someone that wants to freely distribute their images with certain restrictions, but that's not me. I post images for people to enjoy viewing them and to see the quality of my work. If I were to ever consider putting together a compilation of my work for distribution I might then consider a creative commons license.

It's all fun and games...
Until the flying monkeys attack!!!
