No progress whatsoever, I'm also waiting on my lawyer to get back to me who wanted to get an update on the case file at the end of 2024 ( December, I guess ).Still no progress with the police situation, then?
I suppose it wouldn't do any good to threaten legal action if they don't get their thumbs out of their asses, either...
Thing is, I can't threaten with legal action right now since I'm at the mercy of the state attorney presenting the charges and then the eventual court case against me. Whatever happenes there, I don't know, but they have no right to keep my equipment if nothing incriminating was found on it. Let's say they found something on my phone but not on my pcs, then they can only confiscate and destroy my phone, not my pcs. But given the fact that in both of my pcs was a 4090 and that thing is heavy, there is a high chance this part of the hardware is fucked anyway. I can 100% sue for damages there and those parts are still expensive. Theres still the ~5 hardrives ( 2 per pc and then the portable SSD ) than I want back, especially one SSD that only contains DAZ3D Render assets, nothing else ( around 800gb of stuff ). The state attorney never replied to the requests of my lawyer to hand this one out to me or to at least provide copies of the .duf files. There is still the situation where the investigating police woman thinks that she found "teenage porn" in those files, basically claiming that 91x91 unrendered thumbnails for daz3d contain underage characters. The examples mentioned Sabrina, Lena and Olivia. The truth is, there are "nude" previews of Olivia in these files, but it's basically just her model T-Posing. Not a single sane person could ever make out on a 91x91 pixel big picture if this character is underage or not ( she doesn't even claim it's a child or anything, just that she can't spot any breasts ). This situation is so fucking bizzarre because I'm sure she tried to get my games taken down by now, since she knows I'm making a decent amount of money with them. The fact that all three games are still freely available everywhere on the internet without the need for some shady dark net shit shows that she won't have success with that. Hell, I even released a new one January 1st.
I don't know, it's still a super weird situation for me. If any of those investigators would just bother to play my games they would know they don't contain anything illegal, like, not even remotely close.
( I ranted longer than I thought I would, sorry about that ).
