Marque:-"Tomorrow we'll probably be seeing the one about how poser folks aren't artists" Nope, I think I've effectively seen that start (and helped it do so, sortof) already. This time starting from what looks like Poser users being shocked that other lowly talent-free oiks might produce "Instant Art" from clipart and/or DAZ Studio. I wonder - ought we to have a "sticky" FAQ which is always message #1? It could start something like: Q. Where can I get a pirated copy of A. Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. No, seriously, go away - you're not wanted here. Q. Does Poser produce REAL art? A. No - people do. Some of them might use Poser in the process. Q. I see there are "violence" and "nudity" tags - these don't apply to my posts though, right? A. Rules are for everyone. If they're applied evenly then they're easier to understand and work with. It is at best extremely impolite to ignore such rules. Q. Nudity - but that doesn't apply to ANIME-style cartoon characters, does it? Kikki, Sarah, Victoria 3 if I make her eyes a big larger..? A. Again it's easier to apply the rules across the board than to try and pick a slippery hard-to-define line between what's "pornographic" (however softly) and what's "art" or "too unrealistic to count". This is probably why the nudity flag is called nudity, and not "soft porn" or something similar. Q. Someone has blatantly ripped off my Arnold-whatshisface texture. They've changed the tint of the texture and a couple of other facets, but you can easily tell it's mine. It took me hours and hours to produce that, over a period of weeks, from several source photos I got from the net and I'm fuming about the copyright violation! A. Which one - the one caused by copying "your work" or the violations you perpetrated by copying from Internet photos? and so on and so forth. Actually, if someone with a better feel for sarcasm and irony than I could put together a betetr Q&A list... might it even be humerous enough to WORK, as a plan? (Assuming R'Osity could make it a sticky)?? Cheers, Cliff FWIW I don't necessarily agree with the rules or the laws (the law is an ass, after all!) but don't see the Poser forum as the place to fix these issues.
