ORIGINAL: Domin8tingUrDrmz If anyone is concerned, please take the time to review copyright laws. The owner of the site would be responsible for allowing use of copyrighted material on their site, not the users. The users would be responsible if they took the work from this site and used it elsewhere without the site's permission. There are many images, such as Logos and stock photography that artists grant blanket permission for anyone to use. They do this for multiple reasons, Logos and such promote advertising that they do not have to pay for when used by others, they are pleased when their logos are used. Artists who upload stock photography usually do so for other reasons, because they are particularly pleased with the art and want others to view it as often as possible, or to showcase their work. In any event, the imagery here belongs to CollarMe. If for any reason CollarMe 'stole' artwork from someone without the artists consent then CollarMe would be liable even if we are using it, because....we are using it on CollarMe's site. Thanx for that info. Makes alot of sense, since I travel to many a MB and see plenty of avatars that are not originals. mbmbn
