well as far as i know zarabanda is only discussing of cloning in general and not a specific person, and he can use a few "edxamples" as fair use, to illustrat is speach. is free speech is copyrigthed to someone, then we are dommed :) aside from that it is an interesting thread... but i would like to bring another subject: aside from "personnality" (tv/movie stars/actors, or characters), what abotu digital cloning of "non famous" persns ? they too hae a right on their own image/look (at least in my country, the right and protection of self image/physicallook is protected, no need to be a star !) i bring this question becasue i saw some promo pictures of wolfgang at arduino's, and a friend of mine launched me a couple of renders with nearly no tweaking, using the figure right out of the cr2, launched in poser.. believe me it is FRIGTHENING: this fat bearded wolfgang is my clone at more than 90%. tweak it a bit and it is my clone ! i can tell you i am embarassed too, knowing a digital clone of mine is around here, used for any purpose... of course adruino never met me, so it is just a odd coincidence, but yet i can tell you it is disturbing...no, i would use the same word as beforer: FRIGTHENING :) (now of course if one wanna render "me" with a yamato's tenten in his arms, i won't object :)
