    Maybe I misunderstand you but how could YOU get in trouble with the company you did work for if that art ended up pirated on a website? Unless you mean the company never put it online in any shape or form...I guess I could see that because then it "might" have been you who posted it?

    Well there are maps that I've created that I have the permission to post in my own portfolio, but that don't appear anywhere else on the web as they are in print products. Those companies require the proper credit wherever the map is posted. Now if it turns up on a separate site like RPGLife then Mongoose might come askign why I posted it there without credit. I'll then have to explain that it wasn't me. Now I don't for a moment suggest that I'd have any trouble convincing them that it's not my fault, but as I'm a member of RPGLife and those are my maps up there I think they'd have a reason to start by asking me. That's just not a good way to be getting contacted by clients.

    Ok, I get it now. Good point. I hadn't even thought about that.

    Immaterial rights are allways hard to uphold, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do it. RpgLife have been lax, especially since they actually managed to miss that WotC maps got in there. It looks like an all over good forum, but you can't have one without rules, and you can't have rules without someone checking people follow them. I hope they reply to torstans complaint and revise their forum so they can credit where the credit it due.
    A good way to limit "illegal" uploads is to get people to mark that they have the right to upload the picture (and tell them - we got your IP *lol*), but what would also help would be an actual input box for a credit, with link - cause that makes people think.

    oh... and of course we ourselves could be better at signing our maps. Personally I think I'll find some kind of logo to add to them that would incorporate in most maps - don't think my blue devil head would work for that *lol*

    How about a blue smily face with devil horns, simple yet effective. Maybe we should come up with a small logo or something for the maps posted on this guild so we know if someone borrrows our maps without asking.

    Mmmm maybe something like a Monogram using the Colwell font which is used for the Cartographers' Guild Title?

    Lol...fun!

    Cool, I like the last of the five, it'll make a nice little watermark in the corner somewhere.

    May I have your permission to use it?
