I saw the Reika dress texture in Free Stuff, downloaded it, then went to Rubio's site to find the dress. He left the following message which I can not decipher: > Anyone know what this is about? (I apologize to anyone who's upset because I didn't preview my previous message first and then deleted it. I know someone made a stink about it earlier.) Mike

That message is probably translation software, which does a literal translation. Japanese sentence structure is different to English hence the oddness. Be aware that Japanese Poser people are generally very protective of their copyrights and almost never allow commercial use of their items. FaerieGurl`s comments seem to ring true.

I'd say that Rubio is not happy 'cause somebody has used a texture that's either his or very like his. Compounding the problem is the fact that this person didn't have the courtesy to contact Rubio and ask first. So, for now, the Raika dress is not available for downloading but it will be again. And the moral of the story is......always contact and give credit to any artist whos work you've modified. I did with Jim Burton, sent him a picture of the modification and asked if he minded me passing it on. He was fine with the idea. Perhaps we need to draw up a set of guidelines for people? Trouble is.....who sets the guidelines for the guidelines? LOL Mon

I am so sorry about the delay. and@I'm sorry to be poor at English. I hope I didn't inconvenience you too much. At my site, again, Rika_Dress. Opening to the public of Texture was started at the site of minerva. I am grateful for everyone understanding in this difficult situation. Thank you very much.

I didn't feel inconvenienced, I just wanted the problem clarified because I don't want to cause such problems myself in the future. Thanks, Rubio, for your generosity. Mike
