So okay.. I've recently caught a little grief from a fellow Heromorpher about my first Playboy cover and the art I used. Apparently, it's a violation of posting policy here on HM to use someone's work without permission? Uhm... isn't that on a technicality, what we've been doing with these flips? I'm pretty sure not a single one of us has gotten permission from DC, Marvel, Darkhorse or any other company to use their covers.
Furthermore, how many of us have done a manip using a actor or actress, models and porn stars as our various bases? Pretty sure none of us contacted any of them to get permission to use their image.

I do believe that if it's on the internet and it doesn't say you can't use it... then you can use it. Am I wrong?

It's called "Common License" and as long as I'm not using the image to turn profit, I'm free to use it. Correct?

I don't appreciate being put under fire like that. I know the approach that this person took was civil but there is another way to approach that. Just sayin'.
