I decided to investigate a little bit further and found that DAZ is tenaciously protective of its copyrights (no surprise there... and I wish that they respected the copyrights of others (such as New Line Productions, Pixar, Lucasfilm) just as strongly). On the ScreamDesign Mission page, they claim 600,000 customers. No wonder the DAZ main site experienced such a wonderful increase in hits after that first newsletter went out! That's a lot of kids to set loose in the candy store. Apparently to use the clip art on your own site, you must pay for a personal license. To use it on a client's site, you must pay for a developer's license. In addition to payment, you are supposed to give them a credit line. It doesn't say any of this in the newsletters. You have to dig for the Conditions of Use page. So, are any of the brokers getting paid for the use of their art? Furthermore, if the broker holds the copyright to the promo image, why is DAZ getting the credit line? ******************************** I understand and agree that international copyright laws protect the entire contents of this Vault. The owners of the copyrights are DAZ Productions, Inc., its affiliates, and/or other third party licensors. In other words, I cannot include these images in my copyright or claim to have created them myself. Minor modifications such as a color change or the addition of text merely creates a derivative of the original work, which would still mean that DAZ Productions, Inc.. retains copyright over the derivative, as well as to the original underlying work. I will provide a credit line if I use any of these files, artwork, or objects in this Vault, or a derivative thereof. I understand that if I purchase a Personal License, I agree to use the images on one personal or one business site only. I understand there is a minimum $500 fee payable to DAZ Productions, Inc. if this rule is violated. Further, I understand that I will also be responsible to pay for any damages caused to DAZ Productions, Inc. as a result of the violation. I understand that if I purchase a Developer License, I agree to use the Vault items on my own site and the sites of my clients. However, I will NOT include the images or content from the Vault in an image library for resale or redistribution, without DAZ Productions, Inc.'s express prior written approval. ******************************
