kawecki's idea works in theory but I don't see that it has much in the way of real practical application. Let's see ... suppose I want to distribute a character I made. I make two versions. One has a custom texture I made all on my own, the other has a ripped-off Daz texture. I post the first version on my site and submit a link here. Then once it's approved, I switch files on my site so that the zip file contains the second version with the rogue texture. Derr ... why would I bother? Unless I was evilly motivated and specifically wanted to rip off Daz out of sheer mischief, I can't see much point in the above procedure. Having gone to the bother of making a correct version, I wouldn't get any benefit from switching it with a bad one. Incidentally, there is another addition to the innocent excuses - "I thought it was public domain". I've seen so many characters come with Tim Lauerbach textures, some credited and with permission, most not. Presumably many people reckon these things have been kicking around for so long that they are now freely reusable. Particularly if they got them second hand and not from Tim's site. Similarly with many Posette morphs which are in general circulation but presumably started off from the hands of Trav or Jaager.
