A TOS, I feel, is vital to artists. You need expectations, rules, ect. I even totally understand freedom limiting TOS's for stuff like closed species since they're supposed to fit within certain guidelines and keeping some order to that is a personal thing, but I get it. I even use it.

I do not understand the mentality of artists who put such strict terms on sales where new owners cannot sell, or trade, or change or must trade back ect. it just.. doesnt compute with me. No where in any other aspect of sales will you see this type of demand on buyers. I feel like if you sell something, or trade it, that person has paid for that adopt/design/suit whatever, why do they then owe the seller lifelong obligations after the fact?

I'm not telling anyone you shouldnt have to obey an artists TOS, its their right to ask these things and you do not have to purchase from them. I'm certainly not bashing on artists who have made trades or sales with lifelong stipulations on them. I just cannot understand them and I'd love to know the personal justification behind it.
