Well, this just goes to "Buyer beware."

If I buy this product with its "differences" and put it in a film, I will be facing a law suit from 20th Century Fox, I am certain.

I am not saying Renderosity should pull the product, I am just saying Buyer Beware.  In some way we all must do our own research to protect ourselves from "accidentally" commiting copyright infringement.

What I would like to see in cases like this is a statement in the readme file saying that the mesh was "inspired by" the original.

This would alert those who use these things for commercial reasons and would also be more honest on the part of the vendor.

But, I guess this could open a whole new can of worms.

"V4's newest dress was inspired by the fashions of so and so..."

Clothing gets difficult, doesn't it?
