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.

My Mood: | ah, more info... "These files are copyrighted. The product can be used for commercial and non commercial renders. Do not redistribute in part or whole without the author's written consent." This is in Danae's readme. Very clear. Minnu's got problems. But it is not wrong to use Renderosity merchant resources licensed for use in games and texture creation. |

Or find her "lawyers" and ask for a comment. Do you think that would work? ![]() I'm not posting these images at the blog, but I'll post them here. They're new, from Danae via email. I'm tired, sunburned, and lazy, and don't feel like dragging this on loooongggerrrr at SCD. I haven't even been able to catch up on those even; WP has been down since I got home, updating their servers or something. How dare they provide me with better service. ![]() ![]() Oh, and I also have to say that if people are going to "rake me over the coals", I have to be there to witness and be raked across said coals, don't I? I've been gone Conveniently.--edit-- someone also IM'd me this link while I was away. I have to say it holds much less water than Danae's comparison images. http://i32.tinypic.com/idgex1.jpg

I stopped the signal.
| Cindy, do you remember the whole dustup between Anton (of Apollo Max fame) and the guy who created Clark, wherein Anton accused him of ripping off pieces of AM's mesh? If it were Anton (or someone like him) making accusations against Minnu, I'd roll my eyes - but I can't remember Danae ever making such a charge, and the evidence here is pretty damning.

I've known about Danae for a long time through Renderosity. My impression of her has never been anything but a person of high standards who does dazzling work. Her standing in the Poser community speaks for itself. But then again, I'm not the one who needs to pass a judgment here. This is for Minnu and Danae to work out, and "trial by press" has never been fair nor accurate - "trial by blog" is even more unfair, since blogs don't operate under the same journalistic standards as newspapers or television. Mostly all such a faux trial does is pervert public opinion before all the facts are analyzed. If (admittedly a big if) Minnu is somehow able to clear herself, she'll have a huge hill to climb back to respectibility even if she did nothing wrong. How fair would that be?

| That "Alex from Halflife" pic was emailed to me from an alt, created 5.9.08 and its only shown group is my (known) alt's hair group, Fawn Fotherington. How odd. You'd think they were trying to tie themselves to me. |

My Mood: | I can't be the only one who can't read the renderosity links whatsoever, right? Do I really have to register on a site I'll never visit just to know what people are talking about? Quote things for the benefit of the lazy and I will send you luffs and fezzes ![]()

Minnu probably just didn't realize that her guilt or innocence rested on how she responded to a blogger. She'll learn, though. | |
