Either I'm reading a different thread, or some of y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Here's the thread I was reading. 0:00 WISHMASTER: Hey, I'd like to share something I put together that I think is neat. 0:45 SOMEONE ELSE: I think this is Zrincx's texture. Is that right? 0:52 W: No, I got it from a Japanese freebie site. 0:55 SE: Do you have permission to redistribute. 0:58 W: The readme said it was copyright free. Did I mess up? 0:59 SE: That's definitely Zrincx texture 1:07 W: I'll take it down and try to find the Japanese site I got it from. 1:14 SE: Here's a comparison. 1:15 W: I'm so sorry. I've killed the download. I didn't mean to step on anyone's copyright. 1:24 W: I killed the download and I deleted this off my HD. I'm so sorry. I messed up. 1:48 W: I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I'll send you that Japanese site as soon as I can find it. 1:52 W: I learned my lesson. I know better now. 1:55 W: I learned my lesson. I thought it was OK. I'm sorry. 2:29 W: Thanks for warning me. I'm really embarassed. I'm sorry. 3:09 W: I'll make absolutely sure I make everything myself by hand next time. I can't say I'm sorry enough. For those of you who can't do math, he took the download down 22 MINUTES after it was first pointed out that it MIGHT not have been kosher, and 8 MINUTES after it reasonably confirmed. Man, if only the Renderosity store had that kind of turn around. He then apologized 7 TIMES. And what response is he getting? A "Hey, we all make mistakes. You know better now. Just don't do it again." A "Thanks for acting so quick to make things right"? No, of course not. He's getting this McCarthyistic BS of questioning everything he might have ever done. Hey, maybe we should take a pound of flesh while we're at it. I'm so sorry perfect demigods of Poserdom have to put up with those pesky flawed humans running around. Sometimes I am ashamed to be a part of this "community", such as it is.
