Reading through the above, I'm seeing that my feelings about content creation is pretty much akin to a lot of other people here. Though I do like paganeagle2001's point about donateware. Here thats NOT the case, 90% of my freebies will be still be totally free, available to all. I just want to somehow reward those that can support. So I guess really these extra ones shouldn't be called free, but are more like a "quasi-product". As for some of the other points raised.... I don't like or make freebies with restrictions, Not keen on ones that are limited either, that seems pointless. Though I think a simple fair licence isn't unreasonable. Non commerical for anything fan arts based is commonsense as that's not really ours. As for grabbing and not using, think thats just human nature when something is free. Look a supermarket when they give small samples away, some folks will near kill each other for 1/2 a dog biscuit:) Cost & moneywise, I think it's safe to say most of us do it "for love", and baring the cost is part of that. Though it would help if stores could be more flexible on things like affordable pricing and advertising, so we could make a few bucks if we do need help to defray the cost a little. Also certainly a great beliver in 1.99 pricing :) Dnate buttons are useless. Only time I've ever had affiliate payments is from sharecg. Quality wise I think freebies often these are better than product, because we want to showcase our skills, and theres no major rush to get stuff out. So we do the best we can.

Pinky - you left the lens cap of your mind on again.
