The yahoo group has photos of movie stars and musicians taken from films and publicity materials. That is against the Yahoo terms of service. I have been brought up in the Yahoo group thread so I thought I'd clarify some things. A female model friend recently had to hire an attorney to have renders taken off a porn site, her face was used on poser figures and she spent a month getting the images taken down as well as haveing money taken out of her pocket pursuing the matter. I'm am interested in the topic of Digital Cloning. The article on Daz M2 and scanning a human for 3d was a interesting read. As well as software such as poser 5 face room, and FaceGen and their use in games. In the discussion of digital cloning there are legal ways to do it, model releases, permission from people who's likeness that your using etc. When the legal issues are dismissed and copyrights of photogaphers violated I find it hard to support your way of creating digital clones.
