Several months back, I was sitting at my computer at about 1:00am with my TV on, and this mini-mercial comes on (one of those ads that's between a commercial and an infomercial in length, if you're familiar with them?) for some "snake oil potion" to lose weight. I happened to glance up at the TV and there was our model! The person using our product purchased it I'm sure, since it was one of our stock models, but we were more than okay with this. (The particular model is not one I'd have chosen, but it was cool to see it on TV.) I think it's probably best to check with the creator if possible, and steer clear of this scenario altogether.... 'CUZ (and I speak from experience,) YOU CAN GET INTO TROUBLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE RULES FOR SURE! ;) But seriously, unless you plan to make buckets of money "RE-SELLING" someone else's product, artists are usually just going to be flattered. (Just as we are when this has happened in the past.) .... Just adding my 2 peanuts to the gallery since I have some time to do so now! Cheers! pg
