This is really sad. I thought the whole idea of the Poser communities WAS to share works, and ideas. Typically if a image is changed enough, then it is considered a new work of art. If someone spends 5 days working a morph into a different figure, then is that not enough to call it a new work? If the original creator is so worried about that, then let them create the same morphs for every damned figure out there. I agree with you phantast. The thought of myself or others spending hours poured over their monitor looking for "thieves" is prety disgusting. I'm working on stuff I hope to maybe sell some day myself, and if someone takes parts of it, works on it, and carries it over into other characters, then my work becomes even more of a value to the poser community, and gains a life of it's own. Without utilization like this, characters like Puppet would never exist. Is Puppet based on Koshini? Hell Yeah! Does Puppet sell more Koshini models? You bet! Next thing you know, the people who create models will want royalties from people creating clothes for their models! Better yet, Maybe CL should also want a cut of the profits from Daz, and every other creator out there, because if you didn't use poser, then they wouldn't exist. Think it can't happen? Look at the Nintendo franchise. If people want to make games for the Gamecube or the older Nintendo hardware, it had to be licensed through Nintendo proper. Something similar came up like this a week or so ago, and it was pretty ugly. Tis the season to be Jolly..... Stop the witch hunting people, and get back to creating art.
Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
