![]() Perhaps another analogy would be that - having purchased an e-book - the OP wanted to add another chapter to the author's original work and then upload it for anyone to download, or to sell it as their own work. In the second case, the theft is not only of IP but also of money, in the form of those potential future sales. That's why my analogy was that - having purchased one t-shirt before - the OP was asking if it was okay to 'take' as many as wanted (eg: make copies) then alter them (the OP said " work some mesh around") before selling them or giving them away. In the first case, the artist has made all the money they were going to get from the original sale, and the subsequent theft is that of their intellectual property. I see your point, but that same point implies there was only one painting and the artist would have only made that single sale from it, as opposed to a Second Life creator who would make multiple future sales from an item. ![]() It is equivalent of buying a painting at an art show, taking it home, making posters from the image, and selling them online.
