kBran, whenever you create an image it is under your copyright from creation until 50 years after your death. People like these taggars and such are basically stealing from you when they take your images. Some of us make money selling our art. Online and in the real world. You can legally use images that are in the public domain, meaning that they say you can do whatever you want with the image but the images in the gallery here and other community 3d sites and on websites are not all in the public domain. Some people do not accept or believe that so they use pieces and whole images. This is wrong. And illegal. Using PSP for lighting and plugins is fine. but what these people do is cut out say your figure from your image and distribute or sell it as a tube, or background or whatever. THey don't create the art they take it.
