Jenifer, while I appreciate the fact that you guys are trying to be diligent and that you also have a huge web site to run, something here doesn't wash too well. In the first three pages of characters for Poser in the freebie section, there's a Dana Scully character, a Rutger Hauer character, characters from Willow, a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and a Xena character. All of these can be considered copyright violation, even the Hauer (which would be seen as "appropriating a celebrity's likeness", something that has emerged as a new area of copyright protection in the last couple of years). Some of these have been up for a couple of weeks, certainly enough time for someone to pick up on the fact that they're probably not there with any permissions. This is not to say anyone at Renderosity isn't doing his or her job when it comes to this issue. But it still raises the issue of priorities.
