If I buy anything and it's no mod, or I buy something and it has a texture I don't have and I want to screw with it, I steal the texture.

I don't resell, I just ensure that I can make whatever changes I want to anything I own and not worry about losing the original texture if I fuck up.

I took a snapshot of a eXite prim cock, put it on a prim and attached it to my head....

Please remove yourself from my presence. I think you'll want to share your confession with Father Dong. Please prepare yourself to repent via numerous lashes to the back for your wicked ways.

We once took a digital photo of a monkey pattern that we used to redo our dining room chairs, and used it as the background on our website (not the one in my sig). Does this count as being a textile thief?

Or does it not matter, since it's a money losing venture? :)

No, because the monkey probably wanted out of SL anyway.

I have bought multiple $10,000L's worth of textures, have ripped multiple 10,000's of textures. I even browsed through the textures of different HalfLife modules, only to see that a bunch textures that I had purchased obviously had been stolen straight from HalfLife (and Doom and other games). I have also seen on sites of other SecondLife residents where they say they are uploading textures from the web, yet they then complain about people ripping their stolen textures.

Banning won't stop texture ripping.

This cannot be allowed or forgiven!!! You must write a lengthy letter of apology to forementioned cock and head immediately.

It must contain a minimum of 600 words and you must use the following words in it 'white' 'zen' 'video' 'frosty' 'jedi'.

I expect to see the results within 24 hours.

I think its worse if you start using windows to take pictures of REAL strangers wallpaper.

Consider.

The monkey textile was from real life and has only been used by us on our real life chairs. But if he was in Second Life, I'd consider that ;)
