Quote - > Quote - GND is a VERY distinct morph that really looks like nothing else in the Poser community.  It also sells really well.  It is not an accident that the morphs look almost identical.  DAZ has always been a shrewd marketing company, they know what they're doing.

It's distinct in that it is a custom morph, which is unusual in itself for a body morph. What I find questionable is whether it is so distinct that no-one who was doing a custom morph using a human female as reference could possibly do something with a similar outline independently. Yes, there are similarities in the outline, but if you actually look at the shape closely you will see there are many differences. Even if it were an intentional resemblance, there is nothing immoral or illegal about it -- it is commonplace here and in other markets to follow the money.

Okay... GND looks like nothing anyone else has done in the Poser community.  Absolutely nothing else.  The only characters that are similar are Aery Soul's, but those are also extremely distinct from everything else as well and have a radically different look from other Poser characters and GND.  This is not a question of two people doing the same thing independently.  There's no way that DAZ is that naive and uninformed after being the defining company in the Poser community for years.

It's like when Microsoft copied the Mac OS in the late 80's.  It wasn't an accident...
