asp, it's a means where you can import a texture and apply it as though painting on an image. The original concept is a good one, but it leaves itself open to becoming, as we see here, a virtual photocopy machine. But Phan makes a good point: do we only care when it hits this close to home? I mean, I was on the DAZ store site and noticed that the 2003 EU roadster uses BMW logos, and there's a Harley in the Loft. Maybe BMW doesn't care; maybe they don't know -- but it would sure be helpful if DAZ (and others who appropriate things like this) would make a public statement about whether or not they have the rights to use these visuals (which would have to be nothing more than a small note on the product page about "BMW logo used by permission of ______________", just like other companies do when using licensed materials). I'd feel a lot better about buying the model if I knew.
