Deecey: kinggoran ... I didn't say that is the way I felt, just my thoughts about why the laws might have been written the way they are. In this case, the law was written to protect innocent children from harm.
The interesting question here would be: Does it protect innocent children from harm? If no evidence of this can be produced then what are the laws/rules for? Obviously, as has been pointed out already, rules like these are impractical as they rely on a measurement of something that does not exist (the age of a Poser-figure). It's sort of like trying to determine the colours of the emperor's new clothes. :-)
Deecey: We all have different opinions on this issue, but whether we like them or not we have laws and rules to abide by.
Being foremost a fractal-artist, I don't have much of a choice as it is very difficult to create images of human beings using fractals. Just for the record, I have no intention whatsoever of breaking such rules, and I do not contest the owners of Renderosity's rights to create them. I am merely curious.
karen1573: To what "claim" do you refer?
The one that said that inappropriate images of children had been posed in the Poser-gallery.
