LOL...Imckenzie...you know I re-read this entire thread and a couple of times I came across comments regarding some of us as being cry babies or complainers.....(maybe not those words but you get my drift) and I am sorry, but I think this was a very important thread....if I for one had not complained and a few others with good points do you think they would have taken note and changed the EULA? Not that I am complaining now....it is just I feel this was a real important step that needed to be addressed. Sharen

if i created a morph and texture that looked exactly like you, and put it in freestuff tomorrow, theres nothing on earth that you could do about it... even if i named it 'anna-marie'. you cannot copyright a 'likeness' or the way a person looks, nor a common firstname - therefore it makes the entire license issue laughable.>> move to Germany. do a clone of Michael Schumacher, the racecar driver. Call it that. you'll be called by his lawyers in no time. You know why. He didn't put a copyright on his name. He has it trademarked... Anna-Marie could very likely sue with trademark laws too, but she seems a nice person and its unlikely she'd go after anyone that's not causing her any harm (unlike Michael Schumacher, who sues everyone under the sunshine and keeps an army of lawyers in business over here) just clarifying here, that the name usage EULA has to do with trademark and not copyright better to stay on the right side of the trademark laws, it can be VERY expensive if you do not...

"you'll be called by his lawyers in no time. You know why. He didn't put a copyright on his name. He has it trademarked... " i didnt say name it 'Anna-Marie Goddard, i said id name it anna-marie. you may be able to trademark a name in reference to auto racing, or playboy centrefolds, but you sure as hell cannot trademark a common given name. there are probably hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of anna-maries around the world. with your reasoning i could go and have the name 'Bob' trademarked... then run around suing all of the 'Bob's Diners', 'Bob's Automotive Repair', and other bob businesses, and even people named Bob in the world. id make a fortune. and you cannot copyright the look of a person, or their 'body style'. just as there are many people with the name anna-marie, or michael in the world, there are many people that LOOK a certain way. just because i have brown eyes doesnt mean i can sue everyone who creates a brown-eyed character in the marketplace. or just because im 6'1", doesnt mean that anyone who creates a character and states that height in the description must answer to my lawyers. yes, it may be named anna-marie, and it may look like her, but i could have created the morph after a woman i saw on the subway the other day, and named it after my great aunt anna-marie. however if i created a morph/texture that looked like her, and advertised it as 'Anna-Marie Goddard, Playmate of the Year' or whatever (i dont keep up-to-date with these things), then shed definitely have a case. i dont want to rehash this argument again - daz fixed it, the EULA is perfectly acceptable now, everyones happy - the customers, daz, anna-marie... but i will say that one of the most disturbing and rediculous parts of the old EULA was 'combined with the body shape of anna-marie'... umm, yeah. good luck trademarking/copyrighting a body type. no offense, but AMG isnt that unique - there is only a limited number of ways a woman's body can look and there are millions of women around the world that look just like that.

DAZ Said: I don't know of anyone famous that would go for a project like this without taking such steps I do, and she's a Suicide Girl. I'll talk to her. B^)
