The DAZ license allows people to use images produced from our products for pretty much whatever they like as described in the EULA. We believe that exposing our ScreamDesign.com subscribers to the website and letting them start "thinking" about how they can use these images for their production work will result in new paying customers through DAZ Studio. We will be discussing the involvement of our Published Artists partners in the PA forum next week. When they understand the details of the campaign and our projected results we believe that most if not all will be fully on board with our strategy. We are confident that we can grow the market for DAZ Original and Published Artists' products by 100's of % this year. This will allow us to continue creating more product and continue to drive prices down. This will allow our Published Artist partners to continue to increase their revenue on their product. Anybody that has downloaded the DAZ Studio Alpha with Content will know that with our scene strategy, we want to make it very painless to use our products. Our goal is "Load and Render". Then when people have some confidence they will start down the path of changing poses, lights, props, clothing etc. We would certainly invite more feedback on how to make this offering more appealing and perhaps less ambiguous. We would also request that you consider the possibility that what from an outside view appear "stupid", may actually be just the thing to "substantially" increase the number of customers purchasing products and becoming a part of this community. Everybody wins under this scenario, even our competitors. We will follow-up with more details on Monday. Bryan Brandenburg DAZ Staff
