Look at all the celebrety look-a-likes among 12" action figures from Dragon and the like. Which are all licensed. Look, will you please stop speculating and research the subject. I'm not a lawyer, neither are any of you. Speculation is more likely to get someone into a world of hurt rather than find a loophole none of you have a clue exists. It's a simple matter to research the subject and gain an understanding of the law in this respect. Vinyl models of film, anime, whatever are licensed. Models and effigies of famous persons are licensed. The reason is because the "image" of famous people is their livelihood. They make buckets of money on their face and name. They will protect that to considerable extremes. Tom Cruise is unbelievably militant in this respect (as an example). Just one slip, one person mails the estate/agent and asks and whomever is ripping their image and name is in a world of hurt. Poser or not it doesn't matter. Worse is the fact that poser is so heavily associated with porn. Don't think just because Renderosity is a funky little site in Tenessee and Poser is a hobby program that stars, movie houses, SFX companies haven't heard of it. Poser IS used in media production and pre-visualisation for movie sequences. These people may or may not be aware of the stores and the sites related to it. Never assume anything. Research it, seek REAL legal advice, don't "think" you can get around it because it's "just Poser". That way lies a crippling law suit. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but certainly in the future sometime. And if you don't think that's likely I suggest you again research that around some of the news sites where stars, actors, media companies and other personages HAVE sued itsy bitsy little ordinary people for everything they own. Royalties matter almost as much to these people. On that note I'm done with this thread. It's a simple matter to research a subject, if you people want to keep babbling here pretending to know what you're talking about that's fine. Go ahead. If you get away with it more power to you. If you don't. Well, ignorance is not an excuse in the eyes of the law.
