CGI realism..YAWN
Anybody who spends 20 hours modeling and lighting 20 strips of negative film need his/her head examined.
He could have hung, lit and shot the scene using real negatives in under 2 hours.
"Realistic" CGI is only good to shoot an object or situattion that cannot exist in reality or would be prohibitively expensive to shoot.
Modeling a realistic cueball to sit on a realistic pooltable under realistic lighting is a gigantic waste of time IMHO.
"Well we need the cueball to roll in a "realistic" manner."
"Well after we model and light the scene we can use the computer to animate the cueball so that it rolls in a "realistic" fashion or we can roll a real cueball on a real pool table and shoot the scene for about $25.00."

Cameras and film negatives are abundant and cheap.
Water is pretty abundant too BTW.

Right click on the Poser executable or shortcut  and left click on "Run as administrator".

First of all thank you to those who replied to this thread.
So it would seem to me that if there was a forum created here called "Just Released" containing links that could be browsed by members an a window informing the members that the link would be transporting that member off site and that Renderosity is not responsible for off site content then that would suit your needs wouldn't it?
That would give you the choice of uploading your freebies here or advertising them in a place where they are centrally organized. You could also receive postings with feedback from the downloaders. The fact that the forums are searchable would also allow people to find those items if they are looking for them as well as a link to your website.
 I assure you that people looking for freebies will leave no stone unturned to find them.
They will also bookmark your site if they find lots of high quality items there.

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an online storage web service offered by Amazon Web Services. Amazon S3 provides unlimited storage through a simple web services interface. Amazon launched S3, its first publicly-available web service, in the United States in March 2006[1] and in Europe in November 2007.[2] Since its inception, Amazon has charged end users US$0.15 per gigabyte-month, with additional charges for bandwidth used in sending and receiving data, and a per-request (get or put) charge.[3] As of November 1, 2008, pricing moved to tiers where end users storing more than 50 terabytes receive discounted pricing.

Is that the basis of the conflict?
Is it that Renderosity will derive an economic benefit from storing the files here while the Free Stuff authors have to pay to have redundant files stored at their sites?

From the dictionary;

**FREE

exempt from external authority, interference, restriction, etc., as a person or one's will, thought, choice, action, etc.; independent; unrestricted.**

Quote - I think you can create in Poser using other people's products. Consider Hollywood's film director: he uses myriads of people and products: set decorators, dress designers, lighting cameramen, sound designers, etc, etc... and nobody ever says that Spielberg, or Kubrick, is not creative. It is the way those props and people are used that makes the difference.

Since those people are all considered artists and you are doing the work of all of them are you not an artist by extension?

The OS market isn't being entirely driven by the home PC market. It's also being driven by the millions of government agencies, retailers and business users who were  scared to death by Vista and refused to have that OS installed on their systems.
Microsoft won't be pulling support for XP until it can convince those markets that it has something stable to replace it with.
As far as the upgrade price is concerned I can't really blame them for trying to recoup some of the billions they wasted trying to convince the consumer's that Vista wasn't the Anti-Christ.

**Ariah,

The Lucy Lawless one is** AMAZING**!!!!!!!!!!

What about render engine performance?
Same engine or better?

No problem.
I wasn't trying to pressure you into sharing it.
I apologize if that's the way it seemed.

Distribution:

The distribution right grants to the copyright holder the exclusive right to make a work available to the public by sale, rental, lease, or lending. This right allows the copyright holder to prevent the distribution of unauthorized copies of a work. In addition, the right allows the copyright holder to control the first distribution of a particular authorized copy. However, the distribution right is limited by the "first sale doctrine", which states that after the first sale or distribution of a copy, the copyright holder can no longer control what happens to that copy. Thus, after a book has been purchased at a book store (the first sale of a copy), the copyright holder has no say over how that copy is further distributed. Thus, the book could be rented or resold without the permission of the copyright holder.

Congress has enacted several limitations to the first sale doctrine, including a prohibition on the rental of software and phonorecords.

The readme doesn't have to allow redistribution.
It has to prohibit it to prevent it.

Looks like the Wonder Wedge cut.

2004: BMG Canada Inc. v. John Doe

In 2004, the Canadian Recording Industry Association(CRIA) was dealt a blow in its bid to take action against 29 internet users with extensive file sharing activities. The CRIA filed suit to have the ISPs reveal the identities of the 29 file sharers. In the ruling, both the Federal Court of Canada and the Federal Court of Appeal judged that the CRIA's case was not strong enough to support interfering with the defendants right to privacy and questioned whether the CRIA had a copyright case at all based on its evidence. Because the ISPs were not required to reveal the identities of their clients, the CRIA could not go on to sue the file sharers in a manner mimicking the RIAA's legal proceedings in the U.S.A. The court further found that both downloading music and putting it in a shared folder available to other people online were legal in Canada. This decision dealt a major blow to attempts by the CRIA to crack down on file sharers.
