Well, you have missed one thing, since you claim that Renderosity doesn't allow objects which are inspired by or copies of movie items: http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=14830 For example. Keep in mind that not only is this a very clear duplicate of the hole seen in Peter Jackson's LoTR trilogy, it's also using the name 'Hobbit' which is almost universally agreed upon as a made up word by J,R.R. -- and a registered trademark of the Tolkein foundation. (The OED is continually opening reinvestigations into the possibility it occured once on an ancient list of names for kinds of spirit but has remained inconclusive.) Also keep in mind that Renderosity doesn't follow trademark law. Instead they ignore trademark law counting on the merchants to be too poor to do anything about it when their trademarks are violated and simultaneously counting on themselves to be to small to be noticed by the big guys who do have the money. Of course this is going to bite them on the arse. (I don't mean 'it eventually might', I mean I'm having my attorney look into all I can have done about the two trademark violations against my common law trademarks that I know of in the RMP -- I have a trademark on both Puck and Aeon-- so it will unless they start complying with US law).

I'm the asshole. You wanna be a shit? You gotta go through ME.
