[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 8363094, member: 22779"] No, but, my auto insurance covers all damages sustained while using my car. Granted, it's not going to cover meteor strike, that's true, but, it does cover everything that happens while I'm driving. Sure, you can make the "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" argument. But, is that a justification for taking the rights away from people? "Well, we're reducing the chances that we might get sued, at some unspecified point in the future, if we decide to produce art similar to the art in this contest. We're not actually making the chances zero. We're still completely liable to the hundreds or thousands of images that are already on the market right now as we speak and the people who are producing those images do have a vested interest in suing us since we're their direct competition, but, no, it's better that we take away your rights, devalue your work because you might sue us." Not a very compelling argument IMO. See, because while there are hundreds or thousands of contest entrants, there are already hundreds and thousands of these images easily available on the internet. Good grief, there are several thousand for sale on Roll 20 right now. Never minding the token frames that people have made for tokens that aren't separate from the tokens they've made. After all, bespoke frames on bespoke tokens isn't unusual at all. Most token packs have something like that. So, arguing that it's hypothetical is a bit difficult when it's a Google Image Search away from knowing if there is something too similar already out there. [/QUOTE]
