Ya know......threads like this one just kind of result in some minor head-shaking on my part. Frankly, the near-panicked tone, the general state of high excitement, and the clanging din of virtual sirens and klaxons makes me want to grab a passerby and ask them: "Where's the fire?"
I don't see the need for quite this level of outrage here......about the most that such a matter is worth would be a casual shrug and a 'big deal'.
This is badly overblown. Sorry, but I'm not going to join the mob. Whether the target de jour be ef, DAZ, or Rendo........I'll take a pass, thank you. I'm not going to waste my personal time in bitterly attacking the companies who make my very enjoyable hobby possible. Even when they show us examples of what highly skilled artists have done with their software -- in an attempt to encourage us to buy said software.
I can't ride a bike like Lance Armstrong does, either. But that doesn't cause me any heartburn whenever his skill (which I can never match) is used to advertise something.
