**"Why would you bring this issue up now?"

**Today, I had the opportunity to look at the images in the forum contest for last month...that's what renewed my interest in this subject.

**"how was the last challenge any different than the images in the gallery every day??"

**Don't know...I didn't ask that...but, it is an excellent question.

**"We have images of people uploaded everyday...so, are you saying that is in question now?"

**Again, I didn't ask about that...I suppose that's something Renderosity needs to decide..

**"Having been a member for 5 years your raise this issue now?"

**Actually, I've raised it both here and in the copyright forum over a year ago ( I can provide links to the threads if you wish).....I'm still waiting for a clear answer from Renderosity.

 

The answer would seem to be very simple....Is a model release required?...yes...or no...

You will note that I have NOT uploaded any images of identifiable persons here because this issue remains unclear. Clarification of this matter would help me.... and perhaps others...with respect to future gallery uploads.

Regarding my question on how many of the entrants had a release....it was more of a poll to the entrants...and to have them chime in here....to see if folks think getting a release is necessary to protect them against potential litigation.

 

In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.
