Thanks, SamTherapy, I suspected as much but wanted to be sure. I'm too poor to pay a heavy fine and too old to go to jail. ;-)

You're welcome. You most likely wouldn't - in the UK - go to jail, since it'd be a civil matter. Likewise, there wouldn't be a fine involved, at least, not in so many words. If you were found at fault, the plaintiff could be awarded damages against you, which would be what the courts think is an appropriate loss of revenue and/or reputation.

Things seem to get different when there's an official body or large business interest involved. Folks such as Disney have the resources to throw their weight around. The rest of us have to get by as best we can. Renderosity and DAZ will help out if necessary but the general rule for protecting intellectual property at our level is "You're on yer own, pal".
