Just for the record, this was not at all the case. We did not "tell" you

that you could not "use your knowledge".

Don't been rediculous! My company simply asked you to remove our orignal

work(and -yes- it was OURS) that was being used for your company's logo

without license. I personally told you I did not care and advised you to at

least change the "color", edit it, something, etc. so that it would not be

confused with ours. Personally, I could care less about "spinning globes".

They're overused and an eyesore. But however uncreative they may be, my

corporation is a different entity with its own investors, staff, clients and

policy and if we were to exlusively license the use of that particular piece

and one of our "paying" clients saw it being used by your company, we could

be involved in a contract dispute, therefore being held liable. There is a

disclamer in all the source files we release. This is standard business

practice.


If I remember correctly, you approached us asking to use that piece for you

company identity and we told you we would be glad to license or sell it to

you. We did not hear from you again and it soon became obvious your

intention was otherwise. If you are going to post to a public forum, please

at least state the facts. We are not in the business of haggling people,

only creating expert work. Protecting it is part of that process.


Please visit http://www.uspto.gov/  to educate yourself/company on copyright

law.


Also if you still plan on carrying this "Off Topic" thread, please do so

privately. I am sure the listees patience are wearing thin with all these

issues not reguarding Flash development(particularly my "defense" posts,

I'll take the blame). It was not designed for this.


The weekends over.


Thanks,
