hauksdottir: I feel a physical real world cassette design is entirely different to a digital file that can be used as a 'tool' to make something unique. If the original model is entirely destroyed by a conversion where is the breach of copyright? That's my thoughts about a grey area and is why I have raised that point in the Copyright Forum. My original post was not intended to start a copyright discussion. In saying that, I also recieve a few requests for original DAZ figures. Had I been as vindictive and malicious as some are at DAZ then I would given their (DAZ) stuff away. However, as I respect the originating artists more than the company (DAZ) I simply email details of DAZ's web site and inform the enquirees that's where they can buy the item. DAZ, in my opinion, should be more concerned about the underground trading of their items instead of me making alternative arrangements to download a FREE Sara. I suppose though it's easier to 'pick' on an individual registered with their site! Yes, other sites have contests but they are always free of charge and not dependant on having to purchace a seperate membership. It is possible to complain and move on at the same time!
