Yeah but that's redistributing someone else's work, the action in question here is literally opening an image file and saving it as a different format, and dropping it into AC instead of ACC. All done by the user, on their own machine. It's not distributing, etc. Distributing should definitely require permission if the author calls for it, but downloading, opening, clicking save as? I don't see what permission needs to be asked for there. And I guess the guy I was originally responding to changed their mind because their post now just says "deleted."
