**I don't think SoulTaker is complaining about the free items being for non-commercial use at all. I think it's more that when the product is uploaded, the creator checks "commercial or non-commercial" and then you find out after downloading it that it's for non-commercial after all. I can't say as I blame him either. It would be nice  if it was clear from the beginning what could be used commercially and what can't.

And pjz99.....Not everyone has the ability/time/desire to model or texture. It's very possible that the perfect model/texture was found and someone is on a time limit and the "more details" is claiming can be used for commercial and you find out from the site it's hosted on or the readme that it actually isn't. Yep...I can see that being irksome. Then it's not just the 30 seconds a person spent on reading the readme, but the time searching in the free stuff (which if you are on dialup can be very long), the time getting it through another site (again the dial-up problem) and the time downloading (again the dial-up situation). That can add up to lots of time lost.**
