I'm pretty sure that when DAZ manage to work out all of the interpretations of what they've put up on the web ("unlimited access to all the images on the DAZ original images on our website excluding the gallery" indeed!!!) that they will claim "Oops, this is the usual marketing typos situation again, we didn't mean that we meant THIS...". For example I'm pretty sure they'll say it's meant to be only images from DAZ Original products and that for some reason or other they expect their ScreamDesign people to respectfully ignore images from the gallery and/or for brokered products. They don't seem keen in general on being clear or consise about...well, anything really :( Even if this turns out to be the case, this would still leave a bit of a query for images of "DAZ Originals" which aren't DAZ copyright free and clear (such as if artists have produced renders for DAZ's product page advertising). Not to mention the "What do you mean, ANOTHER marketing guff? You cannot be serious!" aspect. How many times are DAZ going to drop a bomb on Friday then arrive Monday morning all smarmy smiles and "Oops, no that was just an error"??? . I'm finding it increasingly difficult to give credibility to DAZ being THIS incompetant. They can't be - can they? As for copyright - you don't have to look far through their web site to see how much respect they give to the idea of other companies/people having copyrights. Admittedly I tread some of the same dangerus grounds as they do, but I also don't put as much on the line as they do, or benefit from it commercially. Cliff Bowman
