megalodon; Ummm.... Aren't you forgetting that little thing called IP? You could go to DAZ and buy one of those nifty architectural environmental scenes...but you can't open a Bryce br5 file with Vue. or Poser. Or Maya, for that matter. Vue's vob format is the same. As is Max's .max, and all the other compressed/proprietary formats the bigger apps use. None of us have 'bought' a single thing out of this store. Or any of them, for that matter. Check the laws; the creator of an object is the one who holds the copyright. Unless they sign away those rights, end of story. All we have done is purchase what amounts to a liscence to use that one copy of that original creation that we downloaded. And not in any way we want, but within the restrictions (or lack of restrictions) set by the creator. Exceed those limits, and you can be held liable both for old copyright violation and DMCA statute violations. There's another legal precedent called 'enabling'. That is what was used to nuke Napster, Kazaa, and others. If you make it -possible- for someone to break the law, you can be held responsible for it. Too many people have run off at the mouth over all the neat possibilities for using Vue as a file converter. That's why then Curious Labs put a restriction on their product; no export to another format from Vue. And why e-on put that option in the import control panel; to give the creator a say-so in how their creation is used.
