Hi, I think a lot of people are now aware of what happened with my work. I wanted to give some news... First, I want to thank Jenifer Keeling, who is the Renderosity copyright agent. She may be the most patient and kindest person in the world :) Thanks again Jen :) All the textures I suspected were proven to use some of my materials, and I'll ask for a fair compensation for the prejudice. I decided to close my site, not to punish anyone, but to protect myself, as it has been a hard week. So, I want to thanks from the deepest part of my heart all the people ( and you were a lot :) who supported me, and gave me their opinions about the subject. Thanks ... really !! All the story is not dealing about anger, but deception. While I was waiting for my textures to be perfect, before thinking about selling them, some people were maing money with them. I finally think I should be happy to deal with textures, as it's far easier to prove a copyright infrigement than when you got doubts about morphs. Last week, I felt what Traveller could have thought when faced to his problems... So, I just want to take a week off now, and I will then decide what will happen to my site. I can now say Renderosity protects all its artists ( both Free Stuff and Market Place contributors ). Thanks to you. Even if I re-open my site, I think I will now make both free and selling stuff. But I don't want to sacrifice all the people my work could interest for my security. Thanks to all of you. Joelegecko
