hrmmm... if bill buy's the product, can steve not modify it for him? it seems to me the big transgression here is not modifying the product, in itself. heck, i've gone and modified daio's raven texture for my own personal use, and silverleif studios' mer-hatchie textures, etc. well, i bought 'em, i'm using 'em. i'm expanding them, but i'm not distributing anything. the big transgression, if i'm reading the story right, is that bill did NOT buy person a's item, but steve gave bill a copy, albeit altered, illegally. if i'm also reading the story right (and it gets convoluted), steve seems to be trying to sell his altered version of person a's item, which is also not allowed. but i dont see why bill has to do it to his copy, when steve could do it to bill's copy. as long as bill has a legitimate copy.
