I would suggest an addition to the section on Legality last paragraph states,

 "US Copyright Law grants artists exclusive rights to their original works for a certain period of time, afterwhich these works enter the public domain. To many artists, maintaining these exclusive rights is extremely important. These artists wish to maintain a high degree of ownership and control over their works, and do not wish for others to have the ability to copy, publish, or distribute their works."

Insert here - This is particularly true of artists who rely on their works of art as their source of income. and continue,

 "FFFFOUND! is not a site where these types of artists want their work to be posted, as the nature of the ffffound.com website is not to promote individual artists. However, many artists do hope to have their work posted to ffffound.com, because they rely on the site as a source for inspiration, and they like to give back to the community from which their ideas were generated. This is primarily why FFFFOUND! can function as an archive of popular images: artists have used the archive to their own benefit, and they therefore have no problem contributing back to the general collective. This allows for a back-and-forth exchange of ideas through the site, which is ultimately beneficial to most users."

Also change "these types of" to professional

This will remove the effect of making creators of copyrighted artwork sound as if they are selfish. Hillgoatlady (talk) 05:33, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
