@ anon - The illegal activities for MMD can be quite serious depending on how lenient the person distributing it could be.

Break too many rules, the model maker (or whatever it is they create) would get pissed off and take down their things. That's not fun for anyone, not even for the person who made it themselves.

The rules are meant to be followed OUT OF RESPECT. You're using someone's hard work and you should be grateful that they're distributing something that nice at all, especially for free. Models don't come out of thin air and they're made with blood, sweat and the whole of their hearts.

See the noisy side of the Western MMD fans just take things, run away and do the whole "Well you put it on the internet, I could do whatever I want" bs. That's no okay, like, at all. :/ And unfortunately, they spoil things for the people who DO follow the readmes.

As for the vines, I'm fine with them. I was actually going to try to use some of them myself because they were silly. But some required MMD 8 and I'm too lazy to update, so I'm putting it off. Very far off. However, the more people use them, the annoying they can be.

It's like how there's popular VOCALOID songs and people give away the vsq/ust/whatever. Now everyone is going around plugging that in and "Huzzah, here is your Ritsu cover of Such and Such a song." and didn't do a thing to make it better.
