The following email has been doing the rounds on the FB groups. This shouldn't affect OSF, but, nonetheless, it makes for an interesting read:

"As Sideshow continues to work with license holders to combat this illegal practice, we are taking a critical look at our advertising associates and their own practices on curbing unlicensed customs. We believe it is crucial not only to be supportive of our advertising affiliates, but to also receive reciprocal support in that relationship.

To our great disappointment, some of our current affiliates have openly allowed discussions of unlicensed customs, hosted picture galleries of unlicensedcustoms and encouraged or facilitated the sale of these items through their Facebook groups / pages, forums, private messaging and other methods.

Therefore, Sideshow has made the critical decision that beginning on June 9th, any affiliate who continues this practice will have their accounts terminated, and all commissions, pending or owed, canceled.

This includes the following:

Renderings, both 2D and 3D, of licensed entities that could be construed as available for sale via public post or private message.

Posts/mentions to solicit unlicensed customs.

Allowing known unlicensed custom artists, manufacturers or entities to post freely on your forum, social feeds, groups, etc.

Posting imagery or videos of custom pieces."


So now you know.

CHEERS!
