Inspired by products might be trademark violations or copyright violations however, if the inspiration is clearly evident to a reasonable viewer.

There are however, many of these sorts of products throughout the Poser world. Some of the most popular modelers have this in their key works, like Aery Soul's electroment and Pretty3d's Other's - Hell Guard.

If the original makers of the works these were based upon filed suit, the modeler's might find themselves on unsteady ground. But it's not clear to me how unsteady that would be.

As for a double standard, I don't see that. Poserpros and Renderosity are, to my knowledge, run by different corporations. disagreeing with a competitor is not a double standard - its a reason to be in business.

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
