I think I've already pointed out that we are not talking about human poses by default. I have not implied that one cannot produce a close approximation of a Poser pose by looking at it. I have said that it is highly unlikely the data inside a Poser pose file be replicated via viewing an image. I believe it would be very unlikely that this be accomplished in any manner except use of the original pose file. I've been sitting cross legged for many years too, but I haven't done so in a Poser scene. ;) I don't care if people create poses that look similar to mine. I fully expect that people will create poses that are similar to mine or those of others. If you went into Poser and twisted several dials, I would probably not even be able to tell it was originally my pose and would likely not care. I certainly have no intention of purchasing all the poses out there to see if they are based on mine. I don't even look for these things. But, when I accidentally run across someone selling poses that are so little changed that I can overlay my own render on their promo ads, that is just lazy and blatant thievery. Essentially, only a judge can tell me that person has not violated my rights. I'm not going to say, take my poses, move an element or two and resell them. This is not fair to customers who already purchased my poses and may end up with poses that are virtually the same without realizing it until later, or feel cheated if the person selling the modified poses does so cheaper (since they didn't really have to do any work). It seems a vendor would not want to alienate customers by selling them something they already have, or face a mud slinging should it become public knowlege they are selling another's poses. I don't see any good reason we should not walk down this path. If Curious Labs can declare that poses cannot be copyright, then a lot of Poser products are not protected, as the majority of Poser files are based on the same type of settings. So, in your opinion, can morphs be copyright?
