Wow, pretty soon there will be very, very little than can be created and posted; so much for inspirational heritage. I once had a teacher who taught us that absolutely nothing, nothing at all whatsoever we imagine or can think of is not somehow inspired by something or someone somewhere, whether quite obvious or subliminal or even if just from a forgotten dream we have had. Humankind has created and invented and artistrated all through history from ideas absorbed and refurbished in their own new way. Not everything in life can possibly be trademarked or copyrighted or even the human body will one day be off limits to artists once someone realizes a way to own the human form some way; and then, well, you can surely just throw poser away. I think it's all gotten out of hand myself. I am surprised other forums with stores and galleries are even allowed to exist and someone doesn't own that whole idea to themselves as yet, but then again, cars are cars are cars are cars but how come Ford doesn't sue GM for making a car and vice versa, they all look like cars and drive like cars and do the same thing in every way. Suppose even words themselves could be owned, as fonts already are, and soon we will have to wonder if whatever we utter will be an infraction too, because someone already said it and claims they own the phrase or word. And if anyone copies or expresses what I have wrote here with any similarity in the slightest way, I assure you I will sue.
