What?!? That doesn't make ANY sense whatsoever... This is what it says for me...   Well, I know who not to tell when something fun happens.

Renders are not necessarily stock art and are not an exception to the copyright law. Though Planet Renders seem strict about commercial-use(prohibited without the artist's permission), most of the renders I've seen there are full of copyright material from trademark companies. AC/DC, Naruto, Final Fantasy, ect... If someone does get permission to use such for commercial use, it would become illegal, because the artist that granted the permission did not have permission themselves from the company of the art. Now it's okay if they made it from scratch, but the majority I've seen on the site is vector traced or just a trimmed screenshot with a transparent background.
It'd still be reasonable to credit your resource even when it's 'free', to prevent getting into a mess. Trolls would target people that do stuff like this and plow them into the ground until they end up doing something they later regret.
As for copyright laws... You claim you've been in web design courses, correct? Did you forget that THE FIRST TWO SECTIONS IS ABOUT COPYRIGHT, FAIR USE, AND THE PUBLIC DOMAIN? - Copyright covers art, writings, scripts, HTML, CSS, music, inventions, and everything else that is tangible except ideas. - Fair Use allows you to use 30% of copyright material for non-commercial and/or educational purposes. (And as long as the sources are credited as due.) - The works in the Public Domain are either: Not covered by copyright, the copyright license have expired(example: Shakespeare's work), or the intellectual property was forfeited.
Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's not copyright. If you Google Image, once you click on a result there is a note right on it that says, "This image may be subject to copyright." I recall you saying that, "If you don't want anyone to use it, then why did you put it on Google?" Google goes by popular searches and keywords. We can't control whether we want our content on the search or not unless we own the website we host ourselves on. For instance, I'm a deviantARTist. If I didn't want my page to show up on Google, I would have to get permission from devART staff to report it.
Side note: A wildly known fact. The type of stuff you do would get you banned from deviantART. Whether it was a free-to-use render or not, most major art sites discourage submissions that was not 100% by the member. Another side note: "Everyone else is doing it!" is a terrible excuse. It leads to the figure of speech, "If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you do it?" They will get caught eventually.
If you really want to be a successful artist, I recommend not relying on renders. Practice. You're young and open for improvement, but at the moment you've isolated yourself from enhancing your skills. You have the potential, but you can't rely on renders for everything. You can continue to do what you have been doing, but at least be more open to the facts and take them into consideration next time.
Just to be clear, this is not meant to bash you. You pretty much asked me to elaborate, and I did. Consider this as a 'brief' lesson.
Guten Tag.

This has only been said a million times. You make it seem like hacking is incredibly easy. Anyway, maybe your game hasn't loaded fully. Try restarting. If it turns out their still gone, change your password.

@Ultra, Don't unban someone just because you want them to post in a thread. Have fun putting a ban back in place. @Luther,  You just managed to make the game even worse. Your idea is idiotic and is only going to backfire into your face. It's situations like these that gets less attention devoted to adding things to the game and more into fixing the terrible plan you put into place. It's like you spend 5 mins on this plan to save the FF economy.
