NEW STOCK RULES

This is FREE STOCK as it has always been,
however please follow these simple rules.

You may create art and do with it as you wish. It becomes your art once you have made an art piece. This means any of you may use it in dA art pieces, off site art pieces, and commercial art pieces, not to include the making of stock. You need not ask if you can post your finished art works elsewhere or sell them. We do however retain the copyright on all of our images, and we expect that you give us credit in all cases. Examples: You may now create CD covers, book covers, calendars from our stock.

PRINTING IS GRANTED, NO NEED TO ASK!


</b>There are no restrictions except for the following.</b>

1. You may not claim the original as your own piece. Substantial changes must be made to the piece in order for it to qualify as a manip. It will be left to our discretion as to if that standard has been met. A color change, or filter change or the adding of only clouds or sky does not constitute a change. You may not post in photography or stock sections.


2. You may NOT make stock from our stock [this includes the making of pre-made backgrounds] unless you have received our written permission after Jan 1, 2009. Any previous permissions are null and void.

3. Those of you who make CSS for the use of all deviants, may use whatever you like in the creation of the CSS Journals, I do not consider this stock use, but consider it a betterment for the dA community.


You do NOT need to notify me of stock use. We will not be manning this site as much as before. We will be adding new stock pieces, and that will be our time contribution to the stock account.

I have but one warning. I will not listen to complaints about how this is worded, nor be told that the wording isn't substantial enough to hold up, and that my side will not be taken should these few rules be violated. I will not hire an attorney to write my stock rules. IF that ever happens again, the stock account will be removed.
