Attached Link: Safe and fun use of Poser stuff as Sprites

The use of images to create sprites would be harmless as that the items are image/trans based. Copyright in the Poser community has traditionaly been limited to creating image based content only. It is true Poser products are not , for the most part, offered in anyway meant as development tools for creating other mesh products. Though I think the use here is harmless to the creators, reverse enginneering is typically not permitted. It is true that the convertions are pretty much useless after converted to Sims format. The meshes are not anything useable if ripped back out of Sims. I do know that this site pulls so much bandwidth that they are mostly just concerned with only covering their bandwidth and not profit. I would suggest that a happy solution would be to for the site to seek permission from the arist to modify/convert items in exchange for some publicity. Also, perhaps credit could be exchanged by mention on the site or a banner somewhere. The sims is fun and I am sure many SIms customers would be very interested to learn about Poser and what we do as well. Regards, Anton
