Ok I'm in..
I think a creator should be able to set their own rules about how their stuff can be used... But.. yep I said the dreaded B word.
I know most of us are hobbyist but what if later down the road someone wants to buy some of our work? We now have to look over those images we have done and make sure we did not use one of the freebies that Do Not allow commercial renders. And if one of the images that someone wants to buy does you now have to track down the creator and see if you can figure out a way to get their permission. To me that is a big pain in the butt. I tend to download a LOT of freebies but if it says I can not use it for commercial renders then I usually just delete it off my system. Sorry but even though I don't think I am that good yet I am tons better then when I 1st started and just what if I can ever make some money off my pictures. Yep I want to be able to jump at the chance to make some money doing what I love heck I know I have spent way to much on Poser and DS stuff over the years making some of it back would be wonderful. I doubt that will ever happen to me, but if there is a chance I don't want to mess it up by using something in an image that is not for commercial renders. So yep they can make it and chose to not let me do commercial renders and I can choose Not to download it or to delete it before I ever can use it. Take care.
