Did you get them as a work for hire?  Have a contract that says you can 
reuse them?  This is no different than software or other intellectual 
property.  Ownership vests in the person that *created* them.  You paid 
for a right to use. And in that case, only in the context of SL; A given 
since there's no way to export them legitimately.  People who create 
textures often include terms of use to address this because textures are 
more easily moved around.  But if you "buy" textures in SL you get them 
with a right to use them, possibly spelled out in a license.  Ownership 
is still only the creator.

Just had to clarify this.  There's too much oppourtunity to abuse 
content creators rights in the virtual world space.
