i just read this and wanted to add something, as i was looking into copyright laws in my area... if you change 10% of a piece of art/idea what not it becomes a brand new piece of work, and does not fall under any copyright infringement..

Sorry but this is a myth, derivative works are still bound by copyright and it is up to the original artist to determine whether they feel their copyright has been infringed or not there is no so called percentage when it comes to derivative works. The 10% comes from being able to copy books and articles for educational purposes and some artists interpereted it the wrong way thinking that they only had to change something 10%. When it comes to selling something using other peoples work it's best to talk to a lawyer that specialises in copyright or if you can't afford that go to your state or countries artist organization they often have free advice in the form of pamplets or online pdf's that deal with copyright.

Pretty interesting stuff, but when in doubt I always check the Big Book. What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9

I believe that everything is derivative of something else, so no one has a right to claim any works as theirs. There is only one creator that can claim that. Just my thoughts.

My issue through the whole thing has been the use of the term "freeware". Why call it free if it's not? The clipart I used on my leather pieces was only ever from that section. Of course, I've learned my lesson. I just didn't want anyone else to fall into the same "trap".

the aon site still loads just fine on my computer too.
