Big updates, Silvuh proposed to me to include information from a handful of useful stickies related to permissions in general. Things have moved a lot :
Post 1
Now including the guide
Obtaining Permissions and You! [v2], updated the figures (1.9 million users + link to the thread)
Also including :
Copyright, Permission, Public Domain and You
Post 3
Finished formatting all the permissions last week.
Post 5
Slowly started to find permission links, they will be added in any of the 4 sections.
Post 6
Including
Denied Artist Permission, went through the thread and even the
old thread to find missing stuff. I'll also add some (30ish?) that I have tried to contact a few years ago.
There's a changelog too (post 9) which was already present in post 6. It's a mess and will stay like that until I verify all of them.
Also, thread title has been changed.
