This is what cafeshop says about the matter when you try to close a shop. ---------------------------------------------------- Clarification on Member Agreement regarding Trademark/Copyright Ownership There is some mis-information spreading that we are taking over and stealing everyones content. So we want to clarify and make sure everyone understands that this is absolutely NOT TRUE. We know that the language of lawyers (legalese) is indeed foreign to most of us - so we would like do a step by step explanation on clauses 6.1 - 6.3. Please let us know if anyone has any questions! 6.1 CafePress.com will solely and exclusively own all intellectual property and other rights, title and interest in and to the CafePress.com Service, and CafePress.com will have the sole and exclusive right to obtain trademark and copyright registrations, patents and other protection therefor. You will not acquire any right, title or interest in any rights of CafePress.com under this Agreement or otherwise. This clause basically states that CafePress owns the rights to the Web site and service - and that we have the right to register and protect the trademarks and copyrights to our service. This clause has nothing to do with the content provided by our members. 6.2 You hereby grant to CafePress.com a non-exclusive, royalty-free right, during the term of this Agreement, to utilize your existing trademarks, trade names, designs and logos (collectively referred to as "Party Marks") in connection with the advertising, promotion, production and sale of the products and services you choose to sell in accordance with this Agreement. This clause gives us the rights we need to produce and ship the items you want to sell through our service. You give us a royalty-free and non-exclusive right - which means we don't pay a licensing fee for the artwork/content and our agreement is non-exclusive. This clause points out you are the owner of your trademarks, names, designs and logos. 6.3 You grant CafePress.com permission to reproduce your Party Marks in CafePress.com marketing and advertising, provided CafePress.com credits you and/or the original artist as actual owner of the Party Marks. CafePress.com will not represent ownership of any of your designs. We run ads and promotions to drive traffic to our member's stores - and when we do so and promote your store - we have to credit you as the owner of your artwork. The last line specifically says "CafePress.com will not represent ownership of any of your designs." We hope this better explains our Intellectual Property policies. If you have any questions, please email m@cafepress.com

I am currently trying to use Maya 4.5 Bryce 5 and Poser 4 for modeling... I wish colledges around here had some 3d animation classes, but sadly I must sit here and try to figure things out by myself.
