well, I rarely say who has created a freebie in my pictures. I usually say something like this: tweaked poser figure (if I tweaked it) Free character that I downloaded from somewhere (if I didn't create the character) I never use other backgrounds except from my own photos or scans of my own photos, so I never say anything. As for props, well, I lump them all together and say all the props except for... are from free downloads. If I payed for something I try to remember to give credit but I feel that no matter which, selling or offering for free, the people who do this need to realize that they put this model out into the public domain. They cannot always expect everyone to say exactly what they want regarding where they got it. It's like anything out there in the public domain. Many individual things can come together to make up a bomb, but those things aren't really intentially being made specifically to do harm. it's a philosophical question. I don't believe that anyone is intentionally meaning to take credit. it's a combination of many things that goes into making a picture and sometimes that combination is enough for some people to feel that they are completely responsible for it. Blah, blah, blah....anyway. I do very much appreciate all the efforts of the model makers and texture makers. I hope one day to offer my own items to the community both for free and for fee... I show that appreciation by buying them and using them, or downloading them from freestuff if they are offered. I hope my models get used because for me that will be thanks enough. I can't expect that once they are in the public domain, that everyone will give me credit or that everyone will be responsible with the image. I can't take the thing away from someone who puts it into a violent, pornographic picture, even tho I would like to... I could go on and on... I think it's an interesting topic...and yes a good one for debate forum...
