Except that person seems anti-ripping. If it weren't against TOS I would rip and have mine model uploaded since a ton of people do it. But it very well would be my luck that I'd be the one punished. Though in truth I don't really see the copyright holder sending a message telling me not to use the model, I think that would be the only way LL would get involved, but that's just pure speculation and not worth much salt.

Hate to say it but I never read TOS on anything. I just take it for granted that I know them when clearly I do not. Thanks for saving me any possible trouble!

Before I go ahead with this I wanted to run this by the forums first. Ripping video game models in and of itself is not illegal. I've done it before, it's a simple enough process even with rigging. What I am unsure about is the uploading onto Second Life. I assume as long as I don't plan on making a profit on it (definitely illegal as it's not my property) then it's fine but I would really like someone who is more legally savvy than me to correct me if I'm wrong. I just finished ripping the model and will hand it over to a friend who knows how to import stuff into Second Life, and after that, the model will remain between the two of us, not for sale, but just for my personal use.
