Illusions, yes, newbies commonly make morphs from other people's morphs. That is not what happened here. He simply renamed the dials and left the morph data unchanged.

Stormrage, you of all people should know better. That texture is brokered at DAZ. I am assuming nothing. Your wish that I assume something will not magically make an assumption materialize. Warez is the free distribution of proprietary computer data. And Stormrage, rest assured. You will not get the opportunity to berate me for such a thing, because I will never do it, nor have I ever done it, nor will I condone it.

Your point that English is probably not his native language is a good one. I must consider the probability that he may be having difficulty expressing his thoughts to us. As such, I will explain to him in detail what it is he did that was wrong.

Wishmaster, when you renamed those dials, then offered the product in the Free Stuff section, it was the exact equivalent of distributing a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" DVD on the Internet, with the title and characters named differently. This is a form of warez and it is not all right to do. Perhaps you did download the texture from a Japanese warez site, and if you did it would certainly benefit us to know that URL. But, you have to be able to see how some of us could doubt that story about the texture, considering what you did with the morphs.

There is a simple and safe rule: If you didn't create it, don't distribute it without the permission of the creator. If you did not know this, you do now, and I look forward to seeing your energy directed toward your own creations in the future. If you need to know how to make your own morphs, pose files, injection files or textures, I will gladly teach you.
