Sharen, I see what you're saying, but I don't think you quite understand AMG's point of view. She, (or anyone who poses nude for that matter), is probably not concentrating on what people do with her clone at home in private, but IN PUBLIC. Let's face it, if you pose nude in Playboy, you wouldn't want to even BEGIN to imagine what people are thinking when they look at your picture. You just don't think about it. But when someone publicly posts what they would want to do to you, or posts an image of whatever depraved way they see you, then it becomes an issue, simply because it IS public. I respect her immensely for agreeing to this project, and can understand her concerns. Digital cloning is clearly something that will become more widespread in future, but if the clone in question was Ronald Reagan, no one would be worried about the nudity aspect. In fact, the EULA would be begging people NOT to show him nude. LOL. The restrictions would be to do with political satire or unseemly use of RR in images. Since AMG is supposedly a pretty blonde (I've never seen her, so I can't say), her concerns are more 'physical'. This, for AMG, is really just an extension of whatever worries she had when she first began posing nude. But, of course, being a well-known person, she has to try to take care of her image. One of the many problems of being famous. Of course, being Dutch, she will have a very different attitude to nudity than most Americans (for example). I've been in Holland often and can say, without hesitation, that the Dutch are some of the nicest and most easy-going people in Europe. And most of them could care less about being seen naked. mac
