Cooler, that isn't real reassuring, sorry. A permission is a permission, and if DAZ can't be bothered to check out whether or not their brokered artists actually have the legal right to use a BMW trademark or a Harley Davidson design and then indicate as much on the product page, then I have to assume you don't have those items clear and safe. To just say "Oh well, it's the broker's responsibility" isn't good enough. At the very least, you guys should see the correspondence between your broker and the company in question to make sure you have the right to reproduce it. Dodger: "As a note, the design of the Beemer is also fair game". Sorry, bud, but no. It's a trademark. And trademarks can be protected as viciously as copyrighted material.
