I'd posted here earlier, and then deleted them when I'd had a chance to reread what I'd written and what other people had posted. I want to apologize for looking ungrateful to freestuff providers. Freestuff providers are some of the most generous people in the world. They work hard, and share. Sharing is something we need more of. First, to the creator of said prop: Thanks for posting your free stuff. I won't download it. The restrictions are too limiting for any use I can think of, but I'm sure someone can. Please be a little more specific in what you mean in your limits too. What is "Occult"? "Erotic"? These are pretty subjective terms. "Occult" to me means anything having to do with religeon. I'm not a member of any judeo-christian sect, and my method of worship would probably fall under your use of the term "Occult". My Goddess would disagree. Erotic can be any aspect of human relationships. We've had a very spirited discussion on the topic of limits, and for that I'm grateful. I think we needed it to clear the air. Second: Future freestuff use by me. From now on I'll check the notes and requirements to see if there's a restriction like this. I won't download it. This kind of restrictive use seems to me to be a form of censorship that I want no part of. My postings here will be governed ONLY by the TOS of the sites I post at. Third: Use of previous freestuff downloaded by me. I ain't going to check all the stuff I've downloaded in the past for the same limits. There's way too much. If you see something that you provided in a post by me that you don't approve of, let me know privatly, and I'll delete your stuff from my machine and never use it again. I'll also never download anything else you put up, delete the rest of the props I have from you, and NEVER buy from you. I'll expect a refund for any purchased product. I'll post a public apology if you like, so others will know that your stuff is to be used only in your approved manner. I'll also expect you to let anyone else know the same way. I think this kind of restriction is pretty damn lame, and want no part of it. Anything I upload to freestuff you can use any way you like. Have a ball. Have two, and show them to the world. Forth: What I'd really like to see is a line on the upload page for freestuff and the MP saying that no limits or liabilities can be placed on the user of the item other than commercial limits. I don't want to have to worry about making a mistake. The basic TOS here covers final posted art for here, but other sites are more open to the sexual or violent side of human nature. I'm not going to seperate out my props into libraries by usage rules. Screw that for a lark. I've got enough trouble keeping them all straight.
