"Not knocking you Kate because yes it is the only way. But how do you propose to identify them?" Well, Questor, that's the problem. I haven't a clue as to how to identify them other than requesting a list from Traveler (and as someone else said, that would lead to another "let's burn the witches" campaign and we truly don't need that). I'm told by some people that they can tell when a certain MT has been used, but darned if I know how they do it. And relying on that method would not only result in probably misidentifications, but it would also tarnish those items where permission HAD been sought and granted. So, I don't know how we could effectively boycott only the offending items, and since I can't say how to identify them, I can't really suggest anyone initiate this sort of sanction against the markets and vendors. I wish I COULD say for certain which ones were in violation, it would be so much easier. For now, the only thing I advocate is sending out the message that if we knew FOR CERTAIN which characters were violators that we would definitely put them on our personal blacklists. And that is what I am going to do. IF, and I stress if, I discover that an item is in violation of someone's usage agreement, I will not purchase it. And if I have already purchased it, I will delete it, replace it in any artwork I may have used it in, and send a "shame on you, you should know better than that" e-mail to the vendor in question. g But I will not condemn just on hearsay. Kate (who can write a really good "shame on you" letter when she puts her mind to it)
