iloco; It's simple. You are making some rather large assumptions as to what a couple of significant content providers allow. You do not 'own' DAZ content; all you have done is purchase a users liscence, nothing more. Same with DNA, Rosity, Rotica, 3DCC, and every other content provider out there. If asked point blank, any or all could say that they do -not- permit file format shifting. For that matter, such a statement could be buried in the EULA. For an -official- Eon word, you would have to talk to an Eon employee; I'm just a forum mod. And the difference is that DAZ and RDNA are -content providers-. E-on is an applications house. There's nothing you can do with content without an application to do something with. If that application makes performing unwanted or illegal actions possible, then the applications maker -can- be held liable for damages. The RIAA and MPAA have been using that 'enabling' attack to go after all and sundry (remember DecCSS and DVD Jon?). Does is make sense? Not particularly. But with the extremely poorly written DMCA and more recent laws and precedents in hand, it is a very real danger. How real would require an attorney familiar with copyright and trademark law.
