If i took vicky and made her arms a little thicker or a little longer, and changed her name to vallery, then no. she'd still be vicky from Daz. But if I took vicky and made her 400 pounds and put warts all over her face, made her a bit shorter, gave her a different skin tone/texture/etc. and changed her name to 'jenny from the bronx' (heh), then 400 pound jenny would be mine. period. Otherwise, daz, and anyone else out there making figures, clothing, props, etc from the original materials/models that curious labs created are ALL in copyright violation and owe curious labs royalties. For that matter, anyone out there whose ever created an orc and called it an orc owes tolken royalties (or whoever owns the rights to tolken's work now), or anyone whose ever created a vampire that turns into a bat owes stoker.
