In response to your copyrighted material claim, I would emphasize the fact that my work is not, in any way, another person's property. It was an original card created by me.
Therefore if you claim that it is copyrighted and you have no proof of such, you have no reason to refuse payment. If you find my work on any other website though, please send it to me so that I can have it(the website) taken down.
When hosting a contest, you are liable to choose at least one winner. It was a waste of time on our part that you have suspended the contest two months after we delivered our work.
EDIT: I do not require you to pay me, but I am willing to drop charges if every other designer in the contest agrees so.
yeah you have alot of them GL. I have proof of many photos are in so copyrighted and one of them are already on the thread. If I have to reward someone I dont mind, but I still wont use the card so this was a waste of my time and money. Again I do not plan to use any of the photos, so after this post, I dont give a rat ass.
Anyway, even though I have only your word that you wouldn't use my design, I am willing to accept that this was a failure in my part for failing to ask for an escrow before continuing work. And having said so, I retract this complaint and instead, I would only wish for neutral feedback stating of this incident.
