No offense intended Silverblade33, I think it's great when artists give away some of their hard work. It's a nice way to give something back to the community...BUT. I am always confused by people who want to give away the same things other people are selling. It constantly amazes me that someone would spend thousands of dollars on a computer and the software and then just give away the fruits of that investment. For example, I bought the same $20 LunarCell plug-in for my expensive copy of Photoshop from flamingpear.com. I used mine to create product for the Marketplace, paying for the plug-in after a few sales. They don't see huge sales, but a few a month makes me happy. Now you come along...and no offense again, but you are giving away the same thing I am selling. It's nice that you are so generous, but basically you just killed off any future sales of my product. I mean freebies have their place, but not at the expense of merchants. It makes it very hard for us to create and provide quality items for the marketplace when they are constantly being knocked off and given away for free in "white warez" fashion. I think that once the bandwidth charges catch up with your generosity you may decide that giving away so many items costs you too much. From my personal experience, everytime I've put up a freebie it's ended up costing me money in bandwidth overuse. Just not worth it for me to pay for other people's software. Again Silverblade, I'm not scolding, and I'm not angry. I'm just expressing my feelings on the subject. Give away whatever you like and God bless you. Peace.
