You know my problem with the EULA,is that it says nothing about how her image may be used.What it does say about non-usage is too open ended,and open to interpretation by too many "3rd partys" including family members. It should have readings such as"...if an image is to be used in a way that does not represent Ms.Goddard's true nature,it must then be altered to a state that no longer bears a close resemblance to or may be associated to Ms.Goddard...". Including wording such as this, would not only protect Ms.Goddard,but give better guidelines to all purchasers of her likness.The language in the EULA is strong and not too well defined,but this is a new and big step into the CG world for all. As for the biggest concern by most(but not me),is the non-commercial usage restrictions speaking as one who spent 10years in the fashion photography worldsorry nothing new there. If you think by paying less than $30.00 allows you to make money off the image and name of a Playboy model..(reality check time here)..your are flat out pissing in the wind. Go ahead and make a poster that you can sell..just change it a enough as to not look or be mistaken as to be the real Ms Goddard.For instance the links in this thread that Firebirdz gave are great looking images.the only thing,they look more like Cindy Crawford than Anna-Marie to me. If you have what it takes to make good money from a project that uses a true likeness of Ms Goddard,Im sure she would be more than willing to sit down and talk about it. I think Ms.Goddard, by allowing her image to be at the mercy of a mouse click by hobbiest,artist,professionals,and horny 15 year old boys,shows great courage. Perhaps one day she can saythats right..I was the firstGod help us all. SWAMP
