this is going to be tough to prove with spawned morphs, especially if they have brought the spawned morph into a 3d modeling program and have done further alterations to it. Its going to get to the point like trying to copyright dial settings, which you also cannot do. CR2s were allowed to be distributed in the distant past, hope some don't get a nasty wakeup call when they find out what they thought was legal to distribute and passed testing, isn't allowed anymore. And many clothing items have matching morphs to correspond to Daz morphs on associated characters... how far is this going to be taken? Sounds like something going to get real ugly. I totally understand being tough on folks that outright rip stuff off, but there is a fine line you have to tread as well. You want people to still expand the work, while protecting the work. Its not easy, I sure don't envy the work it takes... I know I can't cope with it at all and so I don't make my custom characters/morphs/props for distribution very often anymore. anyway, more reasons not to sell/distribute stuff not based on your own meshes or work... I keep all my customised Daz stuff for me and distribute none of it, that way I know I'm in the clear with no headaches. :)
