If people are so worried about getting credit when their characters, poses, etc are being used, then how about this idea to make it easier. Adopt a standard format for the readme file. A zip file with a formatted readme file could be unzipped into a temp directory. A program could then read the standard formatted readme file, collect a list of the directories contents, and update a database. Another program could be written to query the database based on character name, pose name, etc. This would make it a lot easier to "give credit where credit is due." I have downloaded a lot of files from the free stuff and sometimes I do not readily know who the original creator was.
