"* Oh, and Americans like to sue people" not this American [jus' sayin']
After drilling down inside some of your supplied links, I feel so much better about the fact that I create RAW files and have nothing to do with DMCA or any of that stuff-)) Once my RAW is uploaded the sim owner [and grid owner], de facto, owns it, and I could care less..hehe
People so often seem to disregard the fact that any content on a grid is then in the hands of grid owners, who they seem to think are all of a sudden --decent and good, trustworthy people-- simply because they run a grid. An exercise in illusions.
Interesting debate tho, as I do know many content creators for whom this all is very important. Will be interesting to see what happens down the road....
