Art's value is not static to the piece itself, it's worth is intrinsic to the buyer. What a set is worth to you may not be worth that much to me. I run into this all the time - I'll buy a 128x128 original hanz0 texture set, and feel it's worth 250k. I love the artist, I love his style, and I appreciate his rarity. Meanwhile I see threads in the market trying to sell FlyingMonk full 512x512 body and joint texture sets that I wouldn't spend 20k while they are asking for 300k. FlyingMonk sets have zero value to me, but they could be highly coveted by someone else.
Don't say making these heads free makes them worthless, that's asinine. As someone who's spent well over 3 million TC on art within his TB history, I still opt to wear free heads from time to time. That's how much I value them.
Hobo's right and no policy should ever be implemented to change it. If you're an artist and you want to protect the "sanctity" of your piece, only sell your art to close friends or simply keep it on display in forum galleries. Because as soon as you get paid to give it away, your right to qq is over.
