**Quote - ON ITS FACE **this endorses and encourages violation of copyright. "Your favorite Poser textures" are copyrighted material, and this kind of use is very plainly illegal.
any way you look at it its infringements galore. even if the person converting it for Second Life is not selling it and is only doing it for personal use, once it is in Second Life it is easily available to anyone that 'sees' your avatar ingame: there are copy bots widely available that harvest SL content.
this is against the Poser EULAs. i cant believe that
a) 3D Universe created this bullshit
b) Daz is actually selling it, knowing what will result (theyre not stupid)
but hey, itll make money... because thats all its about: making your 50% cut off a $5 plugin and fucking hundreds of texture creators in the process.
