On the argument that Poser work made of purchased components is not "art": I realize no one's going to pay attention to this, but I'm going to say it anyway, so I can get it in print, save it to my harddrive somewhere, and just copy and paste it the next time this vampiric (undying and energy-sucking) conversation comes up. Collage is by definition an art. (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dicitonary, 10th Edition). Thus all arguments that anything is not "art" because it is an assembly of "other's" components are invalid.
