Ah, yes, THIS contest. The one where 2 or 3 mods came down hard on me for complaining about the rule granting them full and complete permission to use all the art entered (not just winning art, anything entered), in any way they wished, for as long as they wanted. I've fought too many copyright battles to willingly enter anything as vague and troublesome as an official Renderosity contest. I've been in and out of several professional organizations over the years and we've learned that it is just cheaper to avoid trouble. Here is the line that I object to: "Artists grant permission to Renderosity for the use of submitted images for an undetermined period of time." Considering what Barbarellany has given up, refusing her the prize won by the sweat of her brow and the callouses on her fingertips seems pretty damned petty. Carolly
