"Hump" is not X rated. People move like that and much more suggestively on
dance floors in public rooms all the time. They are never arrested for being X
rated ever. Of course there were the prudes who would not allow Elvis to be
viewed from the waist down on Ed Sullivan in the 60's. I would hope we had
evolved beyond that. And if the actual "hump" is X rated and illegal.. than
how the heck did your butt get conceived? As for Laws.. The software and my
company are in the U.S. of A. Therefore U.S. Law is recited. I have no
interest in knowing foreign laws of lessor standard. Taking what is not yours
and you know is another's is wrong in any language, anywhere... unless you own
an army... then they call it victory.

Did you know... Europe has the 2nd highest standards in the world... second
only to Japan which takes things way way way over the top.

yes Lady Nighthawk I did make those textures. I do use public domain
textures too and I would never think of claiming those as my own or where
they can or can not show up. I'm only concerned about the textures I
create. I simply want what is mine used the way the way I state in my Terms
of Use which are clearly posted in Ganymede. Some modelers here don't even
want you to open their rwx files, much less change them. Edit mine anyway
you want as long as they are used only in your worlds. If the surface
light settings or textures don't suit your taste on my models or if there is
a Clump you would not like to be in the model then change it to suit you
as long as you realize that the model is still mine and I'm allowing you to
make any changes you like for your world's use. Just like you can modify
the look of Windows to suite your own taste and add 3rd party windows tools
to help you better use your system. Microsoft allows you to do this but
your windows OS still belongs to Microsoft.
How many modelers around here can you name that will allow you that
flexibility?
You want to use what you buy and I want what I sell to be protected by the
people who buy it :) That's all.

Well... I don't mean to go against you or anything, but did you actually
copyright those textures?

Maybe I'm thinking of patents... but don't you have to register a copyright?

No, that's only with patents.
