Actually, JenyK did a detailed examination of the textures and came to the conclusion that Qin was, indeed, directly based on SteffyZZ's work.

The other allegations had inconclusive evidence.

And by the way, I did NOT "take Steffy's side" immediately. I was one of the people getting flamed for telling people to calm down and let the administrators do their work in examining the claims. I only came to believe that BMO was, indeed, guilty of infringement after she came out herself and basically admitted to using "base textures" from sources she couldn't confirm.
