@EK : Glad we agree (more or less) ;-)
@caspsces: I dont know, I really dont know.
I DO believe that a character that was made by just spinning the default morph dials is NOT copyrightable, as again, given enough talent and time, two individuals could come to identical results.
Characters that were created from custom morphs might be different, but then again, given enough time, I could copy a morph just by looking at a picture, as you can see by my "GIRL fo NEA" morph:
Not perfectly identical, but close maybe enough so that some people might not buy the DAZ Girl if they could have this morph for free instead.
The mesh itself is 100% different from the Girl, but still the shape is the same.
Just to show that things are not THAT black and white regarding ANY morphs, too.
Even a custom shape or morph can be hard or impossible to be copyrighted.
