Quote - as to the Company... it's a group... Les aka Sixus1 & his Wife Rebeka and myself, Khai.

 

That makes it harder to notify you if one of your Sixus1 products was used versus one of Les' products--unless the readme is specific about who created the products. I looked at some readmes and the Les Garner creature creations don't list either his name or yours (just Rebekah for support) while the sets list Les first and you second. I guess that provides a way to figure out who was involved in the product. Without your post prompting my curiosity to look, I wouldn't have known about that difference.

It appears I've bought some of your sets, but haven't gotten around to using them in a render. I think most Poser users are pack rats that accumulate a lot of products, commercial and freebies, so that they will be available the instant they have a hankering to create an image where some of those products will be useful. The majority of content they collect will probably never see the light of day.

The odds are still pretty good that somebody has done a render with one of your products. It takes time to dig up the readmes and compose a message to let a content creator know that their product was used and most artists probably don't bother to take that step. In cases where the runtime library product name isn't the same as the zip file, the artist won't be able to find out whose product it was without a lot of trouble. 

If an artist goes to the trouble to notify a content creator that their product was used, there's an expectation that the content creator will take the time to look and leave them a comment on it.. In my case, I won't make a second effort to notify a content creator that I've used their product  if they didn't respond the first time. There's no bad feelings involved. If the freebie is a few years old, there's a fair chance the email address is no longer valid; the person may not speak English well; the creator may no longer be interested in Poser; and any variety of other valid reasons to not hear back from them. I've had a better than 75% response rate, so it's a nice way to get a little more visibility for a new image in a gallery.
