I don't know the people accused...but in some circumstances, is it possible that what they are doing just doesn't ring a bell that it is wrong? Maybe not in this specific case, as it appears it has been going on and brought to their attention...but in other cases. Poser content is a bit of a strange deal....we have people pulling pieces of Vicky out to build clothes, skull caps and stuff....using templates to make textures...there are quite a few people that manipulate other's textures to achieve new looks...its ok to produce poses from the geometry...its kinda hard to always know what we are able to do or not...

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
