Well I don't want to be repetitive but as I brought up in the Copyright forum, can any of you so-called copyright experts explain to me how a model creator can have derivative and distributive control (one of the benifits of copyright) on a model that is a direct copyright violation of a trademarked property?

I've seen this sort of thing at both sci-fi and comic sites. Some 'creator' yelling about how some bozo violated his copyright by sharing his or her Superman model, while never mentioning that Superman isn't his, it's DC's. And I most especially love seeing an Enterprise model whose terms of use include 'credit the model creator in your image'. Yeah credit him but forget that whole owned by Paramount thing.

So while drawing the line in the sand about whats right and whats wrong please explain this rational to me...
