Quite recently DAZ had to recall a vehicle, I think it was a tank, because of copyright violation. Also, just after they bought Bryce, they were using images by one of the guys at the Bryce forum for advertising. They eventually had to contact him, but I think they came to an amicable agreement. The way they operate at times can seem pretty precarious which is strange since they are always proclaiming how good they are as a company. I do hope this issue gets sorted out because I'd hate to believe that DAZ were purposely denying compensation to the original creator.
