I still fail to see the point of the celeb image if one has to either remove any reasonable trace of the likeness in order to "safely" use the product for many purposes. I too love the idea of "CelebriClones" in theory but the devil is in the details and the EULA. If you render your CelebriClone in evening gown and mink stole does the fact that the real celeb is an adamant anti-fur activist mean it's demeaning, distressing and tort worthy? If an image of the CelebriClone kissing someone of another race upsets their parents do you get sued? CelebriClone eating a hamburger conflicts with the real celeb's Hindu faith or PETA affiliation - do lawyers come knocking? Too many questions. Ms Godard is lovely and the CelebriPeal and Playboy connection will probably make some money for DAZ and strain the world's P2P bandwidth as well but after the dust settles and the inevitable cease and desist orders go out to violators, I still wonder whether the name value is worth it. Heck, even Ron J. would probably have a special EULA, prohibiting renders of him with a hedgehog in the picture.
