First up, let me point out that I don't in any way condone the practise of going through the galleries looking for people who are using an item but aren't on the buyer list, then pestering them to see where they got it. In fact, I'm one of the few merchants that take a very active stand against that practise. I've taken a lot of heat in the merchant forum because of my stand on that. Moreover, as a customer myself, I don't purchase from people who I know engage in that pratice. However, that is an entirely separate issue to the question of what license agreements say. The license says what it says and if you want to buy the item, you agree to abide by the license. If you don't think it's worth it with that license, you don't buy. Maybe the license should be different. I have no oppinion on that. Like other merchants, I have no input into what that license says. But I do know what it says and I set my prices acordingly. If I had to plan on people regularly passing things on once they'd finished using them, I'd set my prices higher. After all, if people were allowed to do that, what would stop them doing a render, passing vicki to someone else to do a render, then getting Vicki back so they could do another one etc. Under that sort of set-up, you could rent Vicki out by the day, like a video. If you don't see any reason to spend money on things you're going to use for a little while and then throw away, I can only suggest that you stop buying computers, since they're obsolete after a few years. You should definitely give up on food, since you only get to use that once before you flush it down the toilet. Painters don't expect to be able to use their canvas or their paint more than once. They don't expect to get many uses out of their brushes either. The degree of reusability in Poser products is a lot higher than in the vast majority of art supplies and the cost of doing a render is a lot lower than the cost of painting a picture. I honestly think we Poser users are very very spoiled where costs are concerned.
