Staale - I'd mentioned something similar at PoserPros... but it would be a long and laborious process, even if it were coded in. Also, as you mentioned, the whole thing would largely be thrown off the minute you blended in a legit home-made morph and combined it. Another method would be to count vertices used in a given morph, and combine that with the mix/max values... it would be well nigh impossible for a legit magnet to exactly mimic the same vertices and their min/max values at the same time, even as a percentage of the whole. This second method could serve as a double-check. It would be tricky, but possible. The best bet would be for DAZ (or any other major mesh-monger, to sample and test things from time to time this way, then when they have sufficient evidence, make a very public example of the violator, enough to put everyone else on notice, but w/o scaring the legit morph-monger types :) /P
