From the license: "Buyer is hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use all of the contents of the encapsulating archive file" I'm not sure what part of non-transferable crisjon1950 does not understand, but it's pretty clear to me that 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. Actually this is one thing the bothers the hell out of me, not that terminusnord said but that in essence he is correct. According to the license, I cannot transfer the license of software I've purchased from this site or others sites like it because I'm forbidden to do so by the license. I find that to be pretty strange consider even Mircoserf recognizes that the consumer has the right to transfer the license at will if they wish to. Stopping the second-hand market has been attempted on video's, cd's and other forms of copyable materials. The courts have sided with the consumer every single time. But try putting one of the marketplace items up for sell second hand and see where that gets you. If you're lucky the thread is locked with something similar to 'this is not something we want to deal with' if you're unlucky someone screams that nasty W word. As for giving credit, always try to credit the creators of the free items you are using. Purchased items get their credit when they got your greenbacks. However if they really want their names on your images remember advertising rates are 0.05 cents per page view. ;) -Moon
