Hi, I found once on the web as P4 Character based on P4 Nude Woman the Warrior Nun Areala (release as Nun) but one of my files has been corrupted and I can't find where from I downloaded this free character... If anyone can help, thanks

John Malis. It's probably at the site where they have commercial cartoon characters - animotions?

Sorry, but redistribution is NOT ALLOWED without express permission from the copyright holder. It doesn't matter if the item is free or not. The person who made it controls all distribution and derivatives. That is what copyright is at the core: the right to make copies. Sharing files is warez... and is against the TOS. John Malis is a member here and should be easy to contact (last login was today). Carollywebvogel posted Tue, 16 November 2004 at 10:28 AM
If it is that way, sorry Mike, please try to contact John! Carolly i will respect it and act in that matter correctly. I was not sure in case of freestuff downloads where the original is not changed or labeled with another copyright, just distributed to one of us. Greetings!

webvogel, I understand that you were just trying to be helpful. These copyright rules protect all of us but are sometimes difficult to determine where they apply. The idea that only commercial items are protected is a basic myth... one that I keep trying to clear up. Anything that we create, whether it is a song, a piece of jewelry, a painting, a 3d mesh, or a computer program... whatever, is protected at the moment it is "fixed". It can't be just an idea in our heads. It has to be expressed in some fixed form. Whether we sell it or give it away is totally immaterial. Carolly

:) He'll probably be glad that folks still appreciate and want his older characters.
