<< you cannot give someone a 'gift' of someone else's marketplace item, even if you intended not to keep a copy (yeah right). Gift = piracy >> Then I have several "Pirated" files. Several members od my family have bought me stuff from here, as well as from daz and other places as gifts They don't do digital art, but they know i do so they get me stuff sometimes (i.e., for Christmas and my birthday. <>You're not buying the product outright. You are licensing use of the product. There is a difference, the marketplace merchant retains all copyright and control over further development or propagation of the product. >> B.S. When someone buys something it beciomes their property. If you want to retain control over it you should cut your prices by at about 90%. I'm just waiting for the day someone tries to stop me from using something i received as a gift. I'll then take them to court to challenge the legality of the liscensing agreement which is an attempt to control what people can do with their own bought-and-paid-for property. While I'm at it I may try to milk the "punitive damages" cow a bit as well.
