Quote - Hmmm...  Then why are they selling a program that allows mil figure textures to be converted to SL avatars?

I didn't say they were smart, I said they're not entitled to exclusive rights to work for which they don't hold the copyright for.  Even if a case could be made that textures are derivative works - which again, I don't think they're trying to do - that doesn't mean they can grab any derivative works and sell them for their own profit.  While copyright law does protect the original copyright holder, it is not a blank check to do whatever you want in a case where there is an actual infringement.

I think this is just an example of DAZ not thinking things through - probably the best to expect is for them to put some disclaimer language on the sell page.  It's not as if there weren't other tools out there that do similar things, just this one practically screams "abuse me".
