"We can't use the fact that they haven't yet sued us (or sent us a cease-and-desist letter) as evidence that distribution is legal or allowed in any way. The reason they haven't sued us is that we're too low under the radar, beneath notice as it were, and they have much bigger fish to fry."<< Companies have already intervened into Poser content, first case being years ago. It happens. Which is why people should be careful with copyright. And if you are selling content outright oppose to brokering, still be careful. Most contracts assign liability damages resulting from lawsuits back to the creator. Realism catches more attention than something like the Sims. The larger 3D world is very aware and very interested in what happens in Poserdom. We are a successful content market. I was very suprised last year to find out the people at maxis know exactly who I am. Many 3d insudtries watch Poser content. You think it is coicidence that some vedio game art look like familiar Poser content. Point being, we are under noone's radar. Quite the opposite actually.
