HOW TO FEEL MISERABLE AS AN ARTIST
- Constantly compare yourself to other artists.
- Talk to your family about what you do and expect them to cheer you on.
- Base the success of your entire career on one project.
- Stick with what you know.
- Undervalue your expertise
- Let money dictate what you do.
- Bow to Societal Pressures.
- Only do work that your family would love.
- Do whatever the client/customer/gallery owner/patron/investor asks.
- Set unachievable/overwhelming goals. To be accomplished by tomorrow.

It sounds like Google maintains the right to use posted material for their promotional use, and to me, that would mean a screen shot of a blog or something along those lines - I highly doubt they would take your posted image and use it in marketing materials or anything like that. I think they do a pretty good job at keeping your imagery safe - I have noticed that if you try to do an img src back to one of your own drawings (for example, if you want to post the same image in multiple blogs without taking up allotted space), it has somehow made it difficult to link properly. I don't know how they do that. Also, hopefully we are all using low resolution images which would make any actual attempt at reproduction look ridiculous. So I guess what I'm saying is that i feel safe. The first clause clearly states they do not claim the right to any content posted - that's gotta be good enough for a lawsuit :)
Yay Cat! I'm glad you de-coded all that for me :) I feel much better.
