Do you really think DAZ would have been able to sue me if I would have copied V3s JPs to do so ?

I was going to leave this alone, but there appear to be quite a few people reading this thread and they could be influenced by someone such as Stahlratte making this statement.

Firstly, yes - they would be able to sue you. And trust me - the Sixus1 Media / Lilin2 incident proves that they will do this. It is obvious from the fact that you could make the NEA-V3 hybrid that you have agreed to the EULA.

Whatever you do folks - when it comes to dealing with things like this, get proper legal advice. DAZ have lawyers inhouse for this kind of thing. And companies with inhouse lawyers are a little more trigger-happy with litigation (for good or ill, they need to pay the guys after all).

--EK P.S. For the record - the fact that a morph was made from a picture & not a mesh comparison does not remove "copyright" from the equation. Although, the maker of the image would be the copyright holder in question. If GIRL were a trademark however (as DAZ have done with V3) - a whole new set of laws kicks in.
