If you post to the Poser newsgroup, there's an NNTP provider who archive the images and animations long after they're off the USENET server (on their own servers,) and use them to advertise their service. I found this out by accident recently, very surprised to find one of my own (very crude and embarrassing) animations there long after it had disappeared from the newsgroup. I don't know if this is illegal or not, but the fact that they're using our stuff for advertising purposes angered me. I regret that I can't remember the name of the site right now, but I'm going to look for it and post more news to alt.binaries.3D.Poser when I find it. Jen, I really feel for you. It's terrible to be taken advantage of. Some people seem to think that if they find someting on the Web, they can do whatever they want with it, including making money.
