I'm not sure the cousin can legally give permission. It's the law of the land that determines this....rather than what we think ironhart "might" want. I personally feel that he was a generous, big-hearted person who loved to give his own work away, but I remember he was deeply offended by the warez thing and the posts he saw by people who did not buy his cottages, but got them from "friends". He expressed this to me several times. I won't name names, but it hurt him. I believe part of the reason for his death was because he did not have the financial means to seek proper treatment for the pneumonia that eventually killed him. Warez and "friend" trading contributed to loss of income for him, that I know, and thus contributed to his eventual death. He said several times, that he considered the drums my project because it took very little time for him to make the models and a long time for the textures. I still would not feel right selling them now, even after he basically gave them to me. It's just a matter of not only what is lawful but what is right. I'm sure after Picasso, Dali, and DaVinci's deaths that their work was not given away, either. I even feel strange trying to find another modeler to continue the drum sets, which was an on-going project with many new drums to be added. I have a whole folder full of ideas for them....which is now just sitting there on my hard-drive. Anyway, that's my feelings and that's the law in Tennessee and in California, where he lived and died. If we truly respect copyright as we claim to do, then it should be respected for the living and the dead.
