Confused
about what "copyright"
means?
A short visit to the pages listed above will
explain the entire issue to you so that there
is no bewilderment about what creative property
is and who owns the rights to what.
The
most fundamental aspect of my license and
Terms of Use is that my design resources may
not be resold or redistributed, as
is, which would naturally put
them in direct competition with me, the original
author. Reselling the files as is constitutes
"resale" or "redistribution"
which is essentially a usurpation of my copyright
and exploitation of my hard work.
They images may, however, be incorporated
into both personal and commercial designs
and these "derivative" works may
be sold or given away IF the original image
cannot be extracted by simply removing the
background.
This means that the my image
resources may not be "shared" with
friends in filesharing groups. The buyer is
licensing design resources which are intended
to be incorporated into "derivative"
designs.
