Hey guys (specifically Jagex), I'm loving that you let people use your product to express their creativity and create their own media. This is a great thing that more and more companies are doing. Too many of them are trigger happy with cease-and-desists and lawsuits.
I think that allowing people to make their own art from your product is one of the best things you can do. It'll show both that you care about your fan base, and that you are very open to the their input. I think for a great example of this, one should look at the Halo series. Rooster Teeth made the first Halo machinema, and when people found that Microsoft/Bungie didn't sue the stuffing out of them, it spread like wildfire. Now, the developers go out of their way to help the machinema movement along (like allowing you to lower your weapon, and even drop your weapon).
I think that by being so open to this movement, you are giving a gift to your fans, which I believe will keep people coming back for years.
