What is lacking from the site is a big note informing people that they MAY NOT download and use the art work linked to....PSP designers especially linkware ones who belong to most of these groups DO tend to take anything they like and make it into a tube and sites that advertise art work in this way help the theives to locate unusual art work Im a linkware designer myself, I have exclusive rights to a number of REND artists plus rights to use other artists work to make sets etc...I was one of the first designers to promote poser art now everyone is getting on the bandwagon and a lot of art has been stolen and used without permission, so I used to spend a lot of my time hunting down these sad people and making them remove art from their site...I am now getting into poser myself and hope to make renders specifically for people to use as tubes in the hope it will stop a lot of the recent art theft......People think if they tube up a fairy etc from an art piece no one will realise where its from..... If someone wants to promote just art, it should be an art site only if u also offer tubes etc, it leaves it open for the PSP addicts who tube anything without a thought for the artist.....Believe me I see it all the time..so the least this site should do is have a large note regarding copyright and informing people the art is not for the taking, as the note about it at rend galleries is very small and most people dont scroll down that far to see it....
