okie dokie....all this talk about multiple uploads of the same thing,and mulitplane textures made me do some research.

in order to upload something onto sharecg it has to be your own work or you have to have permission to use it. i have two very spacific questions....

1.are you allowed to go to a royalty free site and take pictures from there and post them as backgrounds?

people are doing this and in the details of the upload they say "based on a photo from" blah blah blah. but i went to the site and its the same pictures.

2.NOT THAT I WOULD EVER DO THIS.....are you allowed to,since these pictures are royalty free,post the same pictures as someone else.

for example,and again i would never do this,but lets just say for a moment,i go to the same royalty free site and take the same pictures without realizing and posted them on here.

here is my first complaint in the forums.....i do not think that this should be allowed.and i think that people who are doing that should be ashamed.for one,there was absolutely no work put into that and they shouldnt be paid for that.just my opinion and second i think its just cheap and a crappy thing to do.

in conclusion,being a person who posts textures,since i dont have a modeling program,anyone can look at my stuff and see that alot of work goes into doing them and presenting them and i always bundle the stuff that i make.its common sense and it looks nice.
