"Remember when SteffyZZ was making claims against other artists for stealing her work, yet analysis showed it wasn't?" Uh...no, I actually don't. I've proven three times on Renderosity alone that people were indeed stealing her material and using it in both free and commercial textures. I asked JenyK to do this exact thing for Marketplace items a long time ago, and she basically told me that it was impossible. How could only a few people on Renderosity know every inch of every popular texture, model, and morph so well as to be able to recognize it before it gets posted? And as far at that theory goes, she was right. Why should it suddenly work now? I feel for Anton, but I think a more effective way would simply to be to temporarily pull a free or Marketplace item IMMEDIATELY whenever someone can provide any evidence of infringement and then examine it more carefully. When someone made a goof and thought that my Vickybuster infringed on a DAZ texture, it was gone before I knew what hit me...so I know you guys can work fast when you have to. ;) Anyway, just my thoughts as always. Take care. SnowS

I do not speak as a representative of DAZ, I speak only as a long-time member here. Be nice (and quit lying about DAZ) and I'll be nice too.
