Of course i can flood thread with “law paragraphs” but that simply makes no sense. Like i wrote i’m into economic crime, taxes etc… But partners of mine are into a lot of copyright cases, it’s no longer a “cavelier misdoing” messing around with software which isn’t yours. How ever was not my personal point of view… are just dry law “rules”.
@Frankie, Talking to a lawyer is of course always the right decision, but however law is law… And every lawyer will tell you of course something “slightly” different… So if someone is using your 3d content “illegal” he will probable tell you… thats not aloowed… blabla… and you should get some kind of compensation… When going to a lawyer and telling him, i have used some illegal 3d content for “personal use” or whatever… he will probable tell you, ok… let’s see if the company has to complain any finacial damage etc… but end the end the court decides… but the court usually decides very dry by law “at least in Germany”…
Fact is, the way you also see it… you can’t make it legal anyway, to rip “steal” content from games and be shocked receiving a letter from a lawyer in name of the game studio the game was from…
Very bad idea… 
However was just a suggestion or tipp or whatever, everyone has his own brain… Cheers
And just to be clear i think even when it is not gladly seen by , no one will complain you because you have took a look into some 3d models, code or what ever… where no complainer is there is no Judge…
But i hink everyone understands, problems starts with sharing and distributing stuff…
