You know..I started giving away stuff without restrictions a long time ago.. Nearly 3 years that I have been in this community. I have even seen some of my work in renders that people do for profit. Frankly I am glad to see it used. This is an old debate and I think it tires some. I download stuff and delete what I can't use commercially simply because my art is focusing on commercial art. NO one has said that those placing restrictions are horrible or stupid or should stop. Just that some of us won't be downloading it because we can't use it. Come on people if you think that someday maybe your art will be sold would you use something that requires permission? and what happens after you are long gone and John james jr. great grandson of so and so who got the file here today does an image is he going to email your decendants? NOT SAYING THAT YOU AREN'T ENTITLED TO PUT RESTRICTIONS ON YOUR ITEMS just saying that some of us prefer to look at a larger picture and a larger market area even for our free items. Must be the summer heat.
