I also received the same IM message that Blackhearted did, shortly after I posted an image to the Poser Gallery (on Sept. 15) using StefyZZs Asia texture. (I also own/purchased Edo)The difference being that I not only gave credit to Stefy but also sent her an IM to let her know that I had posted an image using her Asia texture. To be honest I was very upset when her IM popped up on my screen. (I personally felt my integrity was in questions) I did however IM her right away and let her know that I purchase all items under my REAL name and post under my Nick Name. I also mentioned that I try to give credit to everything that I use that I did not create. (I have gone so far as spend hours online looking for the creator of a texture that did not have a readme file with their zip file so as to give the proper credit). To Stefys defense, she did IM me (after a week, as she was on holiday). She was very kind in her response and went so far as to state that I didnt even need to give her Credit for textures, as any texture that was purchased was mine to do with as I pleased. (I am paraphrasing this but basically that was her response.) She also added that she was sorry if I misunderstood her first IM. Now in my defense I must add that it would have been very easy to cross reference the nick I posted with to my Real Name that I purchased this product with, as my REAL NAME is the same on both if you look it up in the members listing. The problems that Blackhearted has had are, needless to say, very confusing and very upsetting. I can see both sides of the situation being an artist who is very concerned with copyright laws and being a consumer who was accused of using something that she did not pay for. I am saddened that things have come to such an ending that Stefy has pulled her products from the Renderosity Marketplace. I am more saddened that Artists are afraid to show their works in fear of being accused of theft. In the future I feel I must IM everyone before I post an image to let them know that I am using their product and that I did purchase said product under my Real Name. Not sure if it is worth the trouble. Sigh.
