Quote - 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.
The shape is (in my eyes) much too similar to be not intentional, given the popularity of GND 4. Is it illegal? Certainly not. Is it immoral? In my eyes, yes. It's a bit too simple to "follow the money" by copying someone elses design, even if it's legal. But that's just me, others obvious have other standards.
