Sorry, FyreSpiryt, but that just doesn't make sense. You can't compare a 3D model with a "literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works" etc in this way. The render of a 3D model becomes a work of it's own once it's rendered. The image does not contain the 3D model, it's just a rendered representation of it. Therefore, the above law doesn't apply. If you take a literary or musical piece, however, it's something else. You can't reprint a literary piece or perform a musical piece in a manner that the copyright holder specifically prohibits. Or if you display a sculpture in a museum the artist dislikes. But the render of a 3D model have nothing to do with the copyright of the model itself.
