Last that I heard, there's still a law on the books in Georgia (?) (southern US) which requires every able-bodied male to carry a rifle with him to church on Sunday. I don't think that anyone has been punished for a failure to abide by that law.........at least not in the last 120 years or so.
But copyrights are a different matter. Those laws are technically in force -- even though much of the world completely ignores them. If you happen to live in a Westernized country -- then you might even face the possibility of penalties for breaking copyright law.
If you live in our somewhat insular little Poserite community, then you might face the total ostracism of said community for violating copyrights. Even if you never actually face any direct monetary fines, etc. for stealing intellectual property.
If you enjoy this 3D game: then the penalty of ostracism can actually be a severe one in and of itself.
