"Personally, Sixus over-reacted to the whole thing. All DAZ asked was that the thing be RTE/PCF'd for distribution, and V3 is being given out for free fer chrissakes." umm.. do you realise what youre saying? asking something like that basically cripples your sales right there. its rediculous. if there are two bags of chips on a store shelf, and one of them requires you to fill out a 5-page questionnaire before you can eat it, which will you buy? its about the same thing. when you are selling products their installation and use must be as simplified and spoon-fed as possible. asking a customer to go hunt around for a utility to 'decode' them, learn how to use it, decode it, save the new object, etc is absolutely rediculous just because the model shares the same shape as vicky. its like daz is now claiming ownership of it. the only reason it gets away with half the shit it does is because sixus is just a guy modelling these things from home and daz is a company with dozens of times the financial and legal resources as he has - so they can push him around. i would have called them on their bluff and told them to shove it where the sun dont shine - you cannot copyright a rough body style.
