Someone needs to provide the full names, full name of items as it shows in Second life, the coorditates (x,y,z) of every locations where each illegal sales takes place, it's a very tireing and complicated process, which too often results in no one doing anything to correct the issue. There are quite a few artits at Renderosity whom have had their creations stolen and sold in SL and did all they could to correct the situation without any success, Linden did not do anything (I'm not saying they could have).

that is so often the problem it is either way to complicated or will cost, and there is no punishment and the exploiter know all this.......... so your fight fire with petrol idea is great

I'm proud of you for trying to do the right thing, in the right way. But I think your expectations are out of whack with the reality of the situation as it exists.

Mirrormask
One of the best things about Sky Captain, and there are many, is that the dvd had hours and hours of special features. It has two commentary versions, the first is with the producer and the second is with the director and couple of experts from the vfx crew. They were both interesting and I think it's better to listen to the producer's first. There is also a section on the artwork and two section about how it was made. Finally there is a small area called 'more' that has the original six minute short. They tell an amazing story of a new way to bring a movie into existence.
Mirrormask also has excellent special features. The commentary version is with director Dave McKean! and writer Neil Gaiman. In the 'making of' section there is an extended q and a with McKean and Gaiman that is interesting.

Don't forget to consider Pan's Labyrinth too.

I just checked here it looks like it lost money. No surprise they didn't have it. At least it should be cheap when you find it.

I just checked Mirrormask. Wow! Only four million to make. It is amazing they could produce it for that. Probably because it's English and not Hollywood. It lost money too.

It is hard to get. I found a copy on Amazon but it was too expensive. I am looking forward to watching it.

I think as stories go it was only fine, not great. But stylistically it was excellent. I guess the masses don't dig style.

It seems that explaining what brought the idea in the first place might have given a
wrong idea as of my intentions.. there is no fight. There are no expectations.

The idea is obviously seen as a threat, it does not mean that it is done -to- fight..
there may indeed be good sides to this, but they are not the main reasons for it and
they certainly wont change how the world turns.. The basic idea is as simple:

There is a need of free textures, I am happy to provide them.
But I didn't make them, you did.
So You being ok with it matters as it is moraly yours, and you get the credit for it.

All I am responsible for is to have the idea and make it reality

"On the side" it may also be something humanly nice as it seems that today people
have a problem with crediting others (dont ask me why) and I am proud to do it, even
take a particular attention for it as I find it is well disurved. Or don't you believe you do ?

Maybe FF is -that- good, idk.. lol
I wish I would..

This seems fun to play with..

FF is fun to use

I get tired of the modern attitude of everyone for themselves , exploit everything, make as much money out of everything as you can get away with, callous greed is the norm - so I like the idea of freely sharing filters and it sadden me when people sell them and claim them as there own even slapping a copyright notice on them. And yes we all need to make money to survive but there has to be honesty, integrity and fairness............. ok getting off my soapbox now

Is it still Tennant? I don't mind if they do sloppy episodes, I just wish they would stop killing every one off. I want Gallifre back.

I haven't got to her yet. We are way behind here.
Stop telling me!

whoops I thought we'd just be getting the same series

This is a sculpter I know its a silly sculpture cow

Patrick Troughton was my favorite Doctor followed William Hartnell and the guy who kicked of the first series when it was resurrected - as for the companions I use to like Jo [ cause I though she was cute ] Sarah Jane Smith [ cause she was fiesty ] and I quite liked the black chic [ her name escapes me ] They recently re-ran the classic series [ except the one they taped over ] and now as an adult they pretty corny with flimsy sets [ that the old B&W ones ]

I don't go back to Troughton or Harnell and I completely missed Conin Baker and McCoy. That's no problem, I look forward to having them all on DVD one day.

Carl wrote: Blake 7

Sure! I really enjoyed that one. I remember finally talking a friend into watching it and as it turned out it was the final episode where every single one of them got killed. Needless to say he didn't think it was that great.

Carl wrote: Brian and he was in Dr Who and Blake 7

And in Flash Gordon! Talk about cute girls.

Black Chick in Doc Who is Martha Jones, Actress Freema Agyeman, she's in a few of the Torchwood episodes.

Mind next weeks looks wow.. looks like they have merged Doctor Who and Torchwood in that one... and thats all I will say . Just seen the preview for it after watching yesterdays Doctor Who.

And surprisingly Donna Noble aka Catherine Tate is rather good, never could get into her comedy skit, but +10 as a Doctor Who side kick. Brings a different element to the series, touch of humour without turning it into a comedy fast.

They so don't have enough sci-fi, fantasy type series at the moment.. mind never really have. Plus 9 times out of 10 when they do the series dies/vanishes etc like Firefly.. that was cool, Dark Angel, The 4400, The Journeyman and many many more

Pst

Thats good, reminds me of a few movies/stories have read over the years.

Ambrosia,

Thanks again for doing this -- I think it's great that someone cares enough about fairness to try to make this happen.

I'll render up some textures for you and send them along sometime this week. Use them when/if you want.

That's the name sounds sci-fi, yep she was good - I was wondering whether they were still making more episodes of Torchwood
