Thanks to those of you who sent me messages about this thread. Forgive me for dropping in late and not taking the time to read the entire thing. I have already had the gist of it several times in the mail and elsewhere

First of all I DID NOT copy the FF design, the outfit may be similar the outfit design was influenced by the very cool FF outfit BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME. I regret now ONLY ONE THING and that is that I intentionally textured the outfit to make people think of the FF outfit. It was a marketing decision, and as it turned not a good one.

I cannot decide whether to be flattered that my presentaion was (if misguided) so effective to have caused such a ruckus or insulted to think that people believe me so completely devoid of integrity and talent (not to mention intelligence) that I have no recourse but to rip off someone elses material

Daz and I and have discussed the issue and made changes to the outfit based on this discussion. I do not believe that I have violated anyone's copyright the outfit IS different. Daz apparantly agrees with me and the changes that are being made now are a direct response to the community.

So yes they are listening, yes we are doing something about it.
