Use of Assets in Previews on Envato Marketplaces  

by posted in Authors, General
Jan 27

Over the last few days there has been some discussion about items being sold on GraphicRiver and ThemeForest that include apparently unlicensed images from film, television and of celebrities. Specifically discussion about these images being used in preview files.

As you know, any images or other assets you use in your items for sale on all the Envato Marketplaces, must be properly licensed for such usage. This includes usage in item previews on GraphicRiver and ThemeForest – including screenshots and live previews hosted on external servers.

Important: Read This Article

I’d like to encourage every author to read this article on what to consider when including assets that are not your own (third party assets), when creating an item for sale: What Images, Videos, Illustrations or Music Can I Use in My Items?

Sonora: For When iTunes Is OverkillSonora: For When iTunes Is Overkill

I love iTunes. As Apple’s native music player and iOS powerhouse command station, it is unlikely that anything will ever wholly replace iTunes for me. It’s an integrated hub for surfing the iTunes music store, buying iOS apps, making playlists, the Ping network (even though it’s somewhat barren), managing the media and content on my iPhone and iPad, and more. But in spite of my love for iTunes, I will be the first to admit that with a music library the size of mine, it can be a bit slow, unwieldy, and bloated when all I want to do is play some tunes.

Drupal Plugins Now Available on CodeCanyon  

by posted in News
Jan 23

Drupal Plugins on CodeCanyonWe often get emails from both authors and buyers asking us to support a new category on one of our marketplaces. Occasionally, we’ll get a request for a category that we’re shocked to realize we don’t already offer. Drupal plugins is one of those categories.

Starting today we’re now accepting submissions for Drupal plugins on CodeCanyon. Drupal is a pretty massive CMS platform with a huge community of active users. We already sell Drupal themes on ThemeForest and providing plugins on CodeCayon is a pretty obvious next step. As it stands, the category is completely empty, but we don’t expect it to stay that way for long.

Check back soon as we expect CodeCanyon to quickly become a go-to place for Drupal plugins and addons.
