I'm still not sure I see where the copy right violation is comming into play. The texture is not being given away or sold in its original form. Wouldn't that be the same as someone buying the texture, creating a pic, then giving away or selling the pic? I ran across a sim site that was using my images that I created as art for their sims game. The were offering the pics as downloads. They weren't selling them. However my permission to use the pics, was not seeked. I asked the website addmin to remove the downloads and they did.
