This ENTIRE THREAD can be summed up with one simple statement.....

Qoute "DON'T DOWNLOAD OR BUY ANYTHING FROM PRICKS (as in "Oh-I pricked my finger!" Lol. :lol: )!" Unqoute.

Notice that it was a generalized warning - and I never mentioned any names (wink wink).

If your renders aren't yours - why do them?

#1, READ LICENSES! If your unsure about what the license is saying - then delete and swear off the product, ask for a refund if they offer them, or email the product author and ask questions.

#2, Word of mouth advertising (or word of "text" advertising) is everything. Draw your own conclusions.

#3, Not only steer clear of the tyrannically capitolist licenses that tell you that you can't use a product commercially even if you bought it, but also the COPY LEFT junk to!
If you create something with a copyleft product, then your work is instantly a "no rights work".
You can never sell or profit from anything that you make with a copyleft license because the derivatives clause is universal! Also watch out for the "GNU / GPL" crapola - I HATE that ughly OX head! Lol :lol:. Examine CC (Creative Commons) and GNU licenses CAREFULLY!

#4, LOOK UP COPYRIGHT LAW!  A lot of people either claim copyright to things that under the law they have no right to period (non - derivative raw public domain works / images of government officials, etc., Or they ILLEGALLY deny users "fair use" exceptions (which denieing someone fair use exceptions to use of your product is actually a FEDERAL CRIME under U.S. statutes - TITLES 13 to 17, UNITED STATES COPYRIGHT LAW - COPYRIGHT FRAUD!!!.)).
Companies have gotten into a lot of trouble, and have had to pay federal fines over copyright fraud.

OH - and by the way, if you proclaim a work that you've created as PUBLIC DOMAIN - but still attatch a NON-COMMERCIAL USE clause to it -

THEN YOU ARE COMMITTING COPYRIGHT FRAUD!!!!

Because once you proclaim a work as "PUBLIC DOMAIN", you have in essence abandoned any and all rights that you have to that work PERIOD - and you have declared it as PUBLIC PROPERTY! ...YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TO!!!

Under U.S. LAW, Just as a work is automatically copyrighted to it's creator once it's created, it's also automatically and irrevocably public domain once the creator declares it so, and any "non-commercial use" clause that you might stick on the end of that declaration doesn't mean diddly sqaut and will not hold up in court unless your Microsoft, Sony, Time Warner, Disneyco, or somebody else who can grease a politicians palm or dish out shady payola or scary poverty threats. Lol.
