Quote - Cool!  You know I try not to do this very often,  but I was thinking.  Daz teams up with Mogware.  Starts putting Poser content into video games.  How long will it be before some entreprenuer puts the Poser content they bought into their own video games.

Picture this.  You've just spent 6 months creating the mighty morphing jockstrap.  Place it in the market for $20.00  and make 2 bills in sales.  Now,  your kid tunes up for the latest gotta have video game.  So you run them to wal-mart.  Stand in front of the display case and ask" what game do you want?"  " I want mighty morphing jockstrapman!" Your blood runs cold as you see your model,  morphs and textures in a video game that has sold 250,000 copies in one month!  Someone made money hand over fist off of your work,   that you sold for a sawbuck.

If you doubt this check out "Sims" in the copyright forum.

No wonder vendors are holding back.

Which is one of the big reasons I don't want to offer my freebies commercially. If you make them commercially free for poser community, you have to make them commercially free for the whole world - there's no distinction between markets.

As for the purchase items, I think there's a license restriction to this, so if the outfit is legit, at least you have some recourse.
