How many senpaigfxgraal.wordpress.com sites have cat bodies? How many of those people have asked Coco's (I'm fairly certain I read in a thread that she claimed to have made them for halloween.) permission to edit/redistribute them? I'll go out on a limb and say none.
Yes. There is a reason the copyrights exist. But I don't think comparing graal content to the umpteen-hundred year old mona lisa is feasible.
And, no. Uploading any content to a graal server, no matter what is it, the item falls under graal's copyright. (So it's not really yours anymore, sadly.)
I'm a doubting Unixmad is gonna fret over someone stealing something he owns, and then paying $10 to upload it. As said before. It's easy money. It won't be fixed

If they don't have permission to edit or redistribute then they shouldn't. Removing the ability to ifile removes the ability for people to redistribute without the owner of the GFX giving you the file and therefore giving validation to use it.
Also no, just because you upload content to a graal server doesn't mean graal then gains copyright. Considering in order for them to do that they would need to place it in the upload page that they would own it and gain copyright over the material. It is also not stated anywhere in any terms of service that any uploaded or related that uploaded graphics made by players become owned by graal. Because of this uploading graphics in legal terms works like a small contract where you are allowed to upload graphics and have them in game as long as whoever in graal accepts it. According to copyright laws if whoever made whatever graphics as long as those graphics was completely original and made by you at the point you say it is done you automatically gain copyright over it. So yes. You technically could sue Billy for ifiling your body if he didn't have permission to use it even on graal. Online reason people don't do that is because it's incredibly expensive and most the people on graal don't know or took government classes.And it's difficult to do. Many people have been sued over similar things in other games that allow you to upload your content to the game.
