Deb: Stefy said in the earlier thread that she would not demand credit on every image using her textures, and she would not require each user to identify him/herself with the username they bought the texture under. Then, less than twenty-four hours later, she did those exact two things to Gabriel. I don't care how nice her first IM was... she went back on what she said in the public forum to potential purchasers of her work. She wants to protect her copyright and catch warezers? I can see where the same username as gallery poster restriction comes into play on that. But demanding credit on any image including one of her textures? How does that protect her copyright? How does that catch a warezer? And by the way, I certainly don't speak for Blackhearted, but if it was my image you made that comment about (that the texture was the majority of the image) I would be incredibly insulted. As it is, I know I will hesitate before I ever use another bought texture or item in an image, if that's the attitude of the vendors.
