Obviously, the business lawyers who are retained by all of the major Poser-related websites (which all sell celebrity 'look-alike' figures) need to come into the forums, do some self-educational reading, & bone up on their business law.  Then -- and only then -- will those lawyers be in a position to properly advise their clients on how to run their respective businesses.

After reading (most of) this thread -- along with a myriad of others just like it over the years, wherein various and sundry Dire Consequences In The Offing™ have been presented to us as being About To Happen Just Around The Corner® -- it's become quite apparent to me that those business lawyers who work for these websites don't have a clue about what they are doing.

Hey -- here's an idea, and a great solution to the problem!  The major Poser websites all need to dump their current crop of lousy business lawyers, and hire a bunch of forum-legal-10-o'clock-scholars® to take the lawyer's places!  That's it!  Then -- and only then -- will the websites in question be properly advised as to what they should and should not do.

whew  That solves that.  And it was a near thing, too!  Problem taken care of -- so now we can rest easy.  The Right People™ will be in charge......finally.  Instead of the business neophytes who are currently running things.  It should be as plain as the proverbial Nose On The Face™ to everybody: those major-website-running Business Neophytes don't know a thing about building and running highly successful websites.  Those neophytes need to attend to the Words of Business Wisdom® coming from forum threads.  Then they'll have the opportunity to run their websites as they should be run -- and just as successfully as their forumite advisers do.
