arcady I don't see much similarity in the situations at all...noone went ahead and put out a compilation of "The Best of Renderosity" w/o asking permission of any of the artists, it was simply an idea that was suggested. In this case the poses were offered to the community at large, with no effort made to even locate the original posters, much less ask prior permission. As to your "witch hunt" charge I didn't see very many people screaming for Maier/Schlabbers' head on a platter. In fact if you reread the threads you'll find that more people felt sympathetic to what they chalked up as an oversight on her part & that the subsequent ban was an overreaction.
