I still tend to agree with the position that it is better to simply pass on the item if his terms disturb you. He is GIVING you access to something which is his. He does not attempt to dictate what kind of art you choose to pursue, he merely has made a choice as to what kind of art he wishes to contribute to. I am a Christian. If I choose to model a crucifix and offer it in freestuff do I not have the right to feel offended if someone uses it in some kind of demonic scene? No, not unless I respectfully request that it not be used that way. The crucifix does not belong to me, but the model does. In no way am I suggesting that anyone should be restricted creatively. There is alot of dark art out there that is awesomely excecuted. (Alot that isn't, too...) I've never critisized anyone for their subject matter; it's a personal choice. He has the right to express his every bit as much as you do. Is it enforceable? Of course not. Perhaps he makes the EULA in order to satisy his consience. Who knows. I tend to be type A or type B of lmckenzie's list (#141).
