If one reads the DAZ TOS, it is a violation to discuss possible copyright infringement in their forums. DAZ advises people use the proper legal channels to pursue such matters. I've read countless copyright infringement threads in Poser communities, and can't help wonder how many participants are lawyers? How many people have used the legal system to pursue such matters? How many times have we become excited about some potential copyright infringements, only to be told by the site involved that some settlement has been reached, and the terms will not be divulged? People, it's too easy to be wrong when you think you see a violation. It's too easy to ruin an artist's reputation, cause an artist to lose their Internet Connections, etc. If you're not a cop, don't take the law into your own hands. If you're not a lawyer, don't pass out your legal opinions. One of these days, the accusers or lynch mob are liable to get into more trouble than their victims.
