I'm not quite sure if what Minnu has done is even wrong, provided that she bought the textures in question. The license is not very clear on the issue, and the only mention of realtime 3d has to do with the now very outdated Metastream format. She does not make the texture available in an easily extracted form. The only part that seems to deal with it is mapping it to a flat plane, but then it's been uploaded at a low res and to a completely different UV set, that you couldn't in all seriousness reconstruct the original product from it. Yes it can be ripped, but you can't pull the original product from the sl textures.

So, I would definitely hesitate to call it theft, until I had faaar more info on the subject. The license may not even pass court scrutiny.

I can only ascertain that she used Danae's texture to create Generation 4. Whether she had the right to do this, is another question I can't really answer for sure. It's not a normal situation of rip and steal, here.

Of course this is assuming that Minnu bought it. If she didn't, well all bets are off. If she did, then this is a really complex situation. I know though, that most Poser texture artists don't make their textures to be used in anything but rendering in Poser. Many of them are pretty unaware of the full extent of the realtime applications of their talents.

"I suppose so," said Alice.

"Well, then," the Cat went on, "you see, a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad."

"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice.

"Call it what you like," said the Cat.
