I'm not going to get engrossed in a battle over what is right or wrong the TOS that govern Renderoisty are in place understandably to protect the organization and seem to be pretty clear. I can not use other people's lineart to colorwithout express permission. However, I am indeed the victim here and perpetrator is a bit harsh simply because of the conotation and the novel analogy is completely off base(I'm sure that with some relection everyone might agree). Anyway, My girlfriend and I both have copyrights for several written pieces and the copyrights are in place to protect us from individuals who wish to profit from or take credit for our creative efforts. I'm not angry at the moderators. I am just a bit frustrated and dissapointed that among creative people there is no understanding that there IS a marked difference sometimes between the letter of the law and the spirit of the law. Again, rules are rules I like Renderosity so I will abide by them (which is why I won't be posting anymore) I won't be responding again to anything written here. I just want to thank those folks who gave me advice and feedback and want to wish everyone good luck with thier artistic endeavors. Best, joe
