Quote - Hmm. Here's a question. Every now and then, we've recovered a Poser freebie which has been orphaned, with its original creator and/or hosting site long disappeared. There are several threads on this board where such a recovery has been made, publicly, using these internet archive sites. So what's the story with those archive sites? Are they pirating these items? Where is the line to be drawn? Or by "pirating" are we talking about freebies being redistributed for profit? I may have misunderstood. :unsure:
The Internet Archive (AKA "the Wayback Machine") is a non-profit organization that collaborates with the U.S. Library of Congress, and is legally a library. Any use of information aquired there is for non-commercial purposes only, and anyone who wishes to have their site excluded may do so, even retroactively...
