I was searching around FA for artists' commision policies and damn. I only came across three artists which give the commisioner full rights over the image and their art quality is pretty bad. Why would anyone want to pay someone for their artwork if they can't have total control over it?

An equivalent question: Why would you want to buy a game when you don't have total control over it
Another equivalent question: Why would you want to make a facebook account when you don't have total control over your data

I get what you're saying, but those really aren't equivalent. Paid for art is akin to a product. A game you bought is also a product. In neither do you have total control; selling either under your name is illegal, and you're wrong if you claim you made it. Also, Facebook is a free (for all intensive purposes) service that you can use.

Basically my point is that with art (or any other product), you never have 100% control or ownership. But if you pay for it, regardless of what the product is, I believe you should be able to use it as you wish - within reason (this includes within the bounds of copyrighting too). Especially considering once it's posted, pretty much everyone - people who didn't pay for it - also have access to the se thing.

They are equivalent, at the very least the first one is. It's a product that you're paying for. The seller makes the terms & conditions of use because they hold the copyright to the product. The terms depend on the product.

Ah. Well, I thought you were talking "total control" as in the ability to change the product or similar things usually beyond the control of the average user.

Well yes, that's out of the control of the user because usually when you buy a product like a game or a piece of art the terms of use say you're not allowed to make edits without the creators permission.

Commercially. If you couldn't modify games for personal use, there wouldn't be loads of modding communities.

By "modify the game" it's meant that you cannot edit the closed-source game files, for example the exe file you run to start up the game. Modding doesn't affect the files themselves.
