"Wow, that's outrageous, isn't it? The victim of a theft has the fucking audacity to be a bit clumsy about reporting the crime. What offensive bastards." Why make a well reasoned comment when you can just resort to childish name calling huh? Just maybe if you read all the words (even the big ones you usually skip) you might have seent hat I did not condone any copying of any kind. What I >did< say and what I stand behind is this... to say that theya re the "same map" is so completely false on the face of it that there is simply no credible reason to make the comment that I can see. I mentioned rather specifically that Daz has every right to demand that the copied works be pulled, but I also expect them to be accurate in their claims. The difference is a crucial one. "It's the same principle whether it's parts of a DAZ texture ripped for insertion into free stuff, or parts of a free Staale texture ripped for insertion into a commercial effort. It's called theft, and this should be the focus of attention here, not all this other shite." Since no one is disputing that the texteures shoudl be pulled, and the textures WERE voluntarily pulled - I am not sure what "focus" you might want outside of a lynching. Or maybe you just wanted a reason to say "fucking"?
