The issue with Frodo's Choice isn't whether or not it was done with a morph, etc. The issue is that it's an extremely close copy of a copyrighted image. Whether or not the artist painted it, used a morph, can show a .pz3, or what, the fact remains that it's a copy of a work that s/he has no right to copy. That's what "copyright" means. "Right" to "copy". It's not limited to photocopiers, cameras, and scanning. If you can reproduce a copy of something with a Wacom and Photoshop, if it's really a good copy (which this is, right right down to the precise lighting, folds of the fabric, design of the jewelry, placement of hair), it's a violation the moment it's published (for personal and private purposes, you can make copies of things; it's distribution that gets you in trouble). bonni
