Well, I hate to say this, but I have problems with people claiming copyrights on poses, and for that matter CR2 files, as in both cases they are just a collections of settings, they you could come up with independanyly, without any software outside Poser (other tahn a simmple word processor). By CR2s I mean one without any imbedded geometry, like morphs. But the geometry problem has bothered me for awhile, at one time, like many others, I started with the Poser figures and made clothing out of them, they were certainly more than 20% modified, more like 75% changed, and it would be impossable to recreate the original figure from the clothing. But it still bothered me. So I don't do that anymore, I do my mesh from scratch, it doesn't look anything like the Poser mesh, and as a side result I get better-for-my purposes mesh, my newer stuff is fairly low polygon count, works on all computers, less filling!
