You actually "get it". Especially your comment at the end there where you said "It’s the textures he’s concerned about, not scenic picture taking in the sim." Texture creation and uploads to the server are date/time/creator stamped and can be enforced. So you have gotten this exactly right. Thank you for taking the time to actually do your homework before posting. Trying to prohibit general photography isn't the intent here, you are right about that. How crazy would that be? Impossible lol. Also, if you read the comments on the original blog story you will see that the author has posted my conversations with her in which i freely admit that "the notecard needs revisions" and that it will be revised. I also thanked her for calling this to my attention. Happy blogging :) Certainly we admit that we could have done better with the notecard and because this is new territory for many business such as our own we will do better in the future. However, I personally feel she could have done better to investigate a bit further before getting hacked off and just posting a blantant attack and launching a witch hunt just because she was mad.
