I get angry and want to take action when something is taking money out of a creator's  hands-such as someone selling someone else's Poser character. I am not so motivated when someone extracts and mods a game element-to sell to to a different market. If the creators of Mass Effect were in the business of selling Poser models-then I would be more bothered.

Neither action is right- but one causes harm-and the other just leads to more FAN ART-which may influence someone to buy the game-which leads to profit for the original creator. I suspect that is why most leave FAN ART alone. If someone were to use the game elements to create their own game-then damage is done to the orginal crreator.

This is motivating ME to consider buying a PC so I can replay Mass Effect using mods-and make my own mods with Zbrush. This will cause me to buy the PC versions of Mass Effect 1,2, and 3-putting $180.00 into their coffers-which would not go there otherwise-as I have the ME series for Xbox360.

Here is Samara from ME on a TOS era Starship Bridge-some FAN art I was working on from a fan art Enterprise Bridge and someone's version of Samara (free) back in 2010.
