Excellent point, Scott. When I have artwork/renderings created, it's for the purpose of promoting Lateral-g. I have every intention of using it for t-shirts, posters, decals, webpage headers, etc. The issue of who owns the rights was brought up a long time ago by a person who's work is featured here, and as far as I'm concerned, I contracted the artist to bring my ideas to life for that very purpose. The idea that I'd have to pay the artist a royalty fee for every t-shirt, poster, calendar, etc, was not a popular one.
I think anyone that has renderings, illustrations, and/or design work done needs to discuss this point ahead of time.
