I agree with you, Guitta, that taking the image and putting your own name on it is wrong. That's copyright violation, plain and simple. But as far as the scenes on the Extras CD, where the Samples etc. are, nothing I read in the Vue manual or anywhere in those folders does it say that textures/models are prohibited from use. If in fact those textures and models are copyrighted as not for use by people who legally buy the software, E-on should make that explicitly clear. Quite honestly, since it is not stated anywhere that I can find, I have always assumed that those items can be used (although not claimed as my own created texture, for example) in images I make. The difference with your example would be this: 1. Person A takes your scene, changes camera angle, maybe one material, and posts it as their own. That's not right. 2. Person B takes your scene, looks at it, sees a material (not a default Vue material) they would like to use in a completely different scene they have constructed. Is that wrong? It is not prohibited or stated as wrong in any Vue documentation?
