You know, I really don't think anyone here is giving a whole lotta folks enough credit? Are we a bunch of "doorknobs"? I mean, c'mon?? Yeah, sure, we NEED to respect the work of others. No one should just take stuff and copy or sell it as their own, that's just common sense, if it isn't then those that do THIS deserve what they get! But are we putting this WHOLE sight, and possibly all the sights in the same picture, are we all dumb clucks before we even lay any eggs?? HOW LONG have we now been around as forums? HOW LONG have these stores existed?? I realize we get new members, perhaps they should be aware of certain guidlines, but I would HOPE that MOST folks have enough common courtesy and more than enough sense to know enough not to have to wear a pacifier and a bib here??!! Who is being ignorant throwing all us eggs in the SAME basket? This is like putting a cast on a leg that is not broken yet. Fine, have a medical centre, have a nurse, even have a Doctor but don't start treating us all like patients already when we are not yet sick! Avoiding a disease is fine as long as the cure is not worse than the disease itself. There is NO reason to SCARE artists into NOT creating for fear of stepping on toes around every corner. That's just not how it is. Most people, especially those with similar interests, DO respect one another and DO understand common sense rules without planting unfounded fears into their heads. Yes, your right, a lot of NEW, RAW from scratch material made by anyone other than DAZ MUST be carefully researched as to not infringe on the creators original wishes for their work, but on the whole, a lot of materials are based on the original DAZ geometry but altered as per specified allowances, enough to be sold as CR2's or with "mover" or whatever. If that were not the case we may as well close shop and re-open a fruit stand instead. If it is the case of creating a character such as a Star Wars figure, yes, it should be made certain that PERMISSION was given or not accepted to be sold UNLESS there is a certainty of enough VARIANCE from the original, (again, research), that there would be no problem. Of course your not gonna be able to sell a Duck and call it Donald Duck, Disney would have you for breakfast, and it better not look the same unless Disney said, "sure, go ahead", but that don't mean you can't create a DUCK and sell it, even one wearing a sailor suit. Use you noggins. I remember, (although I have yet to actually SELL something myself), always being AFRAID to even go NEAR a store with the prospect of ever SELLING something, thinking I HAD to learn to CREATE FROM SCRATCH, from bottom up, before I could possibly DO this. As it is, that is NOT the case, or at least half of the stores would be vacant. Be wary, not everything is DAZ material, know your stuff. And if it IS based on DAZ material, do your research before thinking about that "for sale" sign. You have a LOT of opportunity but you also have to know the basic facts before becoming a vendor, and being afraid is not one of those facts.
