*This page, added on October 28th, 2003, is a result of...the recent "theft" of one of my tutorials. This encompassed copying, posting/emailing the entire tutorial including backgrounds, graphics, and Bravenet banner.
The Yahoo Group owner/moderator also posted many of my own finished examples of my tutorials. The response from that person was: "if it's on the web, it's up for grabs".
I've seen so many wonderful artists have their work stolen & shared ,without a second thought regarding their time, talent, or "terms of use" . Many times this resulted in their decision to close their sites, which is definitely understandable, but also such a huge loss to the entire PSP community.
Below are Informational Links for anyone who thinks that everything posted on the world wide web is "up for grabs", free to copy, rewrite, add their name to, or to take the credit for the hard work, ideas, and the imagination of the original artist.*
