{Nobody asked you, frankly. } HOWEVER, nettiquette insists that you DO ask first, AND, if you'd been around here for a while (if you have been then you PROBABLY wouldn't have made this "mistake" and I'd probably recognize your name), you'd know that NOT asking permission first generally causes a fight, like the one you're seeing here, to surface. I don't doubt it was an honest mistake, but it was also one that occurs a LOT, and gets a LOT of tempers flared. In general, "Personal Use" is interpreted AT THIS SITE AND THE OTHER GRAPHICS SITES to mean that you can use the model: 1) as an inspirational model for one of your own (i.e., to see how something was done so you can make your own, distinct and different version; you can't use the geometry or any part of the original if you wish to redistribute), and 2) In any non-commercial images/scenes you wish to create. No other use as acceptable, without the permission of the author. {You are incorrect, PJF. Unless specifically stated, anything may be distributed REGARDLESS of copyright. } That is a perversion of the Fair Use laws. You're overlooking the "fair use" part. These laws allow a group working on a project to share materials, and allow a teacher to use part of a book or a news article in class without requiring every member/student to purchase a copy, not to allow you to, for example, give full and complete copies of the item to everyone you know.
