You know, I really don't understand what all this fuss is about. Are we all panicking and paranoid because we're not allowed to make weird, perverted pictures with this new AMG figure, and then sell them for huge amounts of money? I mean.... come on, people! It's her face and her body. She can put whatever restrictions she likes on their use. And any one of us who makes a figure/prop/whatever can do the same thing. Now, most of us don't add ridiculous restrictions, because the market dictates that certain clauses in the EULA eventually kill sales. But that DAZ's business. You don't like it? Don't bother buying it. And, as for this crap about 'a dangerous precendent'. My Aunt Fanny! What dangerous precendent is it setting? Does anyone seriously think that the next public figure to agree to digital cloning would have a different EULA? Bollocks! Anyone who has a public image to protect is going to do exactly what AMG did. And a lot of people would want to make it even more restrictive. Read her posts again. She's not threatening anyone with lawsuits, not trying to act the primadonna. She just wants to cut the ground out from under the clowns that would. no doubt, try to make a buck of her, if this stuff wasn't in the EULA. In fact, if there are any primadonnas here, it's the ones shouting about our 'rights as artists'. "Don't you DARE put any restrictions on my creativity". Bullshit! mac
