Renderosity started out as a community site, and though the RMP has become more and more important to its running, this site is still first and foremost a community support site that happens to have a store. Daz is a commercial company first and foremost which has galleries and forum to support its products. Daz is a brand. Renderosity is not. If it were necessary to say any more about Sephyn74's statements about copyright above what others have said already, then I would add a further confirmation that what cooler et al have said is absolutely correct. A little story: Stravinsky once heard a barrel organ in the street playing a popular song that he liked the sound of, and he put a little snatch of it into the score of his ballet Petrushka. Unfortunately the song was copyright, and it ended up that, despite the fact that the little altered snatch of notes is about 0.05% of the ballet score, whenever the ballet was performed, there had to be a payment to the copyright owner of the popular song until eventually the copyright lapsed after the statutory period.
