Very cool thread. Informative too :) As a new mod here and having not only worked with the others for a wee while... I've also had the pleasure of meeting and working with a number of Renderosity folks during DragonCon. These people do not harbour any intentions of doing "things" to the membership in any way, shape or form. They're intentions are to promote and help the community members as much as they possibly can within a community framework. I'm very glad Spike asked for this to be in a separate thread Ironbear. I think a thread such as this "collective knowledge & idea base" being created for the edification of us all is one of the most valued tools a community has to offer and give to/of itself. Not being a professional artist or artist (yet) or a copyright pro or even someone who has won any contests, the particular line that had come into question didn't even raise red flags for me. I'm glad you all did! Everything the renderosity volunteer and non-volunteer staff is doing is done because they believe in this community. Not for any other reason. One of the reasons you do hear us say "we are taking this to the table" is that again, we are looking for the input and advice from a variety of sources to ensure there is no bias and that all sides of the coin are looked at as it were... Congrats to the community on getting a very valid item tabled, thought about and looked after :) PS: "By entering/submitting work to this contest, the artist granst Renderosity the rights to archive and display the images within the contest archives for as long as we display archived contests. All rights still belong to the creator, and Renderosity will negotiate seperately for additional useage as needed/desired for other promotional purposes with the creators." Damned good phrasing Ironbear!
