All items purchased are grandfathered in, even when a merchant leaves purchases stay in a cusomers account for later use. Customers aren't going to have to worry. next the new rule states that image 2 and 3 of the promo shots allow nudity, so all those texture artists have 2 full images to display the quality of there textures or whatever they want. As stated above, Daz does it and Daz does a LOT more business than PP or Rend. Everything on Rend is time stamped, gallery entries, as well as products. So Grandfathering in isn't a big deal. Anybody that believes that Rend survives off poser sales should look at the other categories. Advertising with Software companies, marketing, flyers etc costs money and software companies pay the bills. As well as CD tutorials, and no books. Also the licencing of Bondware software of which Renderosity is a prime showcase for the software. Loosing sexy pose packs and baloon morph tits really isn't going to be that much of an effect and should it happen would probably be a bonus as it's easyer to market to non sexy related marketing venues. Merchants always have a way of selling their products. open their own store, pay their own bandwidth charges and sell away. With the new rule promo image 2 and 3 should allow them to sell here if they choose. Schools and colleges are tightning restrictions on sites students can access from school computers. Rend sells educational licenced software and haveing that avenue closed off hurts profits. As far as I can tell nobody is censoring anybody in the way of art, go create a site and post away, they are limiting how the site that they pay for is used and to me at least since they are paying the bills got to make the rules. Daz, PP, Rend, 3d commune, Rendroica etc etc etc all have terms users have to abide by to remain in business, as well as for the user to be a member. There are several online pay mthods people can use, if you cannot find a way to send money to a merchant send a good old money order or check. Rend is trying to stay afloat, PayPal trying to keep in business with international laws and restrictions, nudity on promo image #2 and #3 seem to work this issue out. I don't really see the issue. Like to add just one last thing. I do think this can be a GOOD thing too. Merchants will have to work and be creative to advertise, good marketed products and ads will rise, badly advertised products or marketed items won't make it. This could be a boon for people that render good quality advertising and could HELP some merchants. Daz's new thumbs of old products had me looking at things I hadn't seen in a while or had passed by before. Just a thought. My 2 cents, and now I have none so what do I know. Peace out.
