Quote - I'm sorry but this isn't really somebody's bedroom. It is a privately owned site but lets get away from the idea we are in someone's sitting room etc unless you are suggesting that they also have a huge store in their sitting room as well. It is an area maintained by rendo as a selling aid. And I may be wrong, but some people do pay to have their art displayed here don't they?  

And the point is... what? People should or shouldn't be allowed to complain? The TOS is somehow flawed because there is a store maintained at this web site? The moon is made of green cheese?

By the way, your analogy is skewed. If the gallery is the "sitting room", the "huge store" is out back, next to the kitchen, and the galleries are in the parlor. Which still seems off point.

You can pay to have your art displayed more frequently, but there is no fee to display your art, as far as I know. A legal distinction, perhaps, but a distinction nevertheless. It's like the fact that you don't own that software you think you just bought, but in fact you own a license to use the software; two different things. Again, not part of the point, just wanted to interject that.

Stipulated, there is a store operated via this web site, which also hosts images. I'm not clear what you're getting at. Does this have something to do with the structure of the TOS, the issue at hand (primaltruck's image getting pulled and his resultant distress), or something else?
