Apparently, from other threads I've read here and there, DAZ has a few disgruntled individuals in their customer base. I currently am not one of them. The concept that PJF brings to light, about their possibly being a contract violation between yourself as a paid-for platinum memeber and DAZ, is a valid point. However you'd have to re-read the platinum member TOS rules (all memberships have them, whether they're paid for or not). Most of the time, even if you are a paid member, if you do something that goes against the TOS for that site you still get banned, and they don't "have" to refund any portion of your membership fees. However, since there are very few laws that govern the internet, a lot of companies/sites/etc create their own laws which may or may not be in violation of federal/state laws and consumer rights. This means that just because its in a company's TOS, doesn't mean its legal (paypal, for example, is currently dealing with a similar situation where a portion of their TOS did not comply with federal law but no one said anything about it until now). So, just cause its in their TOS, doesn't mean its legal, regardless of whether you agreed to it originally or not. Which means they could still be in violation of something (contract, law, etc), by banning you. Just my two cents. do with it what you will. (there are copyright laws too, which a lot of people don't realize. For example, if you alter something in any noticeable manner, regardless of who created it, the altered version automatically becomes yours, with which you can do whatever you want).
