If Anton does a cheek morph for V2 and distributes it no violation Daz allows this. I create a big nose V2 morph and distribute it, again no violations Daz allows this. HOWEVER If I load Antons cheek morph and include his morphed geometry with my big nose morph and call it it my own Anton can check the cheeks of my morphs and see his little watermark and use that as a bassis for a claim of infringing on his material. What I've seen in the past year is people taking good morphs and packing them together from different people and claiming all of them as their works, and they aren't. Or taking a freebie morph adding a morph they did and selling it in a package again they didn't do the freebie morph so there is an infringement. Now if Anton has his cheek morph and its watermarked in the polys like his example picture, and I have my big nose morph and I have my watermark in my morph, is someone comes along and takes either one or both and distributes them and there is a claim Say Anton discovers it and posts an announcement, I could come along and go well yea better look into that and look for my watermark, may be there, may not be, but I've covered myself by PUTTING a watermark in my morph. maybe that gives a better example of how this could be used. Then again I've eatten a box of cookies and am on a sugar rush and need to go crash now plonk
