If you did something like a "Trial" period where someone high up on the site has to grant you the privilege to download the covers by meeting certain requirements might stop some of these thieves. --- End quote --- thats what i was thinking, a month or 2 before you can download, or so many posts, like 50 or something, before you can get to the downloads, or just remove the download section entirely then have a minimum post count before your allowed to PM, at which point you would PM the mods for any covers you wanted. something like this to make it a bit more of a hassle to get to the covers, it might put serious, "real" members off, but hopefully the leeches would be put off too... |

Still, there's the problem that people like myself will have, which is that NONE of my covers are on the site in the proper sense, so I'd have to self police, and so would a lot of others. It would make sharing covers on the forums a headache. |

I'll throw in my two cents... For myself, once I make a cover and put it out there. It's a gift. I don't care what is done with it afterwards. There are a few things that can be done. The site can have a disclaimer... Something like this: The Cover Project is a site who's work is created as a free service from gamers by gamers. Our honor system dictates that covers are not to be downloaded and sold for profite. Or we can put a small Cover Project water mark at the back of the box that can be easily removed by those with photoshop skills... which is everyone that's creating the covers in the first place. |

A two year old could do that =X |

Buuuuut, if you put a copyright disclaimer in said box, then you'd have a lot more ability to argue that the work is yours when dealing with eBay and whatnot. I couldn't care less if folks here were to erase a copyright notice on my work if it were for their personal use. Hell, I'd help them do it if they couldn't do it on their own. But I have never, and won't ever, license any of this work for profit. |
