I am a professional 3D artist and just to shed light on the grey area here. I'll make it very clear. If I create something artistic, I do not need to include a license one way or another. It is protected by law from it's inception. If someone steals that, however, the burden of proof is upon me to prove that I am the creator of the original. If I place a copyright tag on it with date, this can be impled but not a guarantee that I am the original author. Creation dates in CG files help. The best way (outside of registering with your country's copyright office), however, is to generate a physical copy or photograph of your creation and mail it to yourself in a sealed envelope. The sealed envelop will have a date stamp from the postal service on it. Never open the envelop except if the need should arise in a court of law over a dispute of copyright ownership.

To make it clear, again, a work of art does not need to have any implicit license or copyright tag to be protected by law. It is always protected.

Hello,

I am using a modified version of XCgallery on a site. The Gallery is modified to be used as a classifieds display rather than a gallery.

However, I need to produce a hack which will limit users to a certain number of uploads defined in the user group that they belong to.

I know very very little PHP, but I understand it to a degree. Xcgallery has a disk quota option which can be set in the Admin panel. Can we hack this option to limit the number of uploads rather than the amount of disk space to be used? Or even better can we easily define the new function and database entry?

With a little guidance I'm sure I can figure it out. I'm still trying to learn some of the basics of PHP although I understand some of the structure.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

---Will
