It is. It is also possible to gain permission to use them. The only time recently that I've heard of them being used with permission was at Goth fair two years ago.

woah, so a lot of designers are chancing their arm still on SL?

crazy

Sadly, not even remotely new or rare.

In the quiz that you do to be allowed to upload mesh, if I remember correctly, it tells you that you are not allowed to upload and use IP-infringing content, regardless of whether or not you are profiting.
