>>>First, What's the pfo?<<< Poser Forum Online. >>>Second, the questions is whether or not the modeler has the right to tell an artist what they can and cannot do with something that they give away for free. There's no specified agreement on any rules.<<< Yes, there is. It is called copyright law. It is also known as the Berne Convention on International Copyright Protection or some equally noble sounding title. The United States and MOST of the civilized world belong to it. >>>When they GIVE it away they also GIVE up rights to it.<<< No, they do not. Again, copyright law. >>>Why do they have the right to tell someone what they can and cannot do with it.<<< Again, copyright law. >>>THEY GAVE IT AWAY! It was GIVEN to soemone else.<<< Irrelevant. >>>why do they have the right to control it after they GAVE it away.<<< In case this has not been mentioned, copyright law gives them that right. >>>I can't believe people think they have rights to something they GAVE away.<<< Arthur C. Clarke GIVES you a copy of his book. That doesn't mean you can produce a movie from it. >>>I need something to do, i'm running low on ideas.<<< Read a book on copyright law. Or, at the very least, visit the linked site. It is not in lawyer-speak nor does it go into great depth, but it does shatter at least 10 of the greatest myths in regard to copyright. You may not SEE the protection or you may DISAGREE with the protection, but the protection is still there.
