There are many people in this thread that are simply not "Getting it" or what the sides are about. I refer most strongly to atthisstage. A single morph target is not a character, as such. A single morph target comprised of bits and pieces of several morph targets of various sources some of which might be V2 morphs cannot I repeat CANNOT be used in any way to duplicate the V2 morphs from which they came. Therefore, there is NO POSSIBILITY of undermining the usefulness of V2 as a CHARACTER. To use your Pearl Jam analogy: I can make a song that uses Pearl Jam's drumbeat from a song, Maybe one part of Pearl Jam's bassline for the bridge, a bit of Stone Temple Pilot's Ideas from a song, and borrowing on lyrical THEME from something by Britney Spears. It's a whole new song, inspite of the fact that's it's a ripoff of many ideas. This is done every godblessed day in the music community. It's the entire 90's, for cryin out loud. If I were to export a V2 morph with a value of 1 and distribute that, that is pure piracy. If I export a combo of V2 Morph for Move L eye up at a value of .3 and standard vicky heart face at .666 and a jaager morph at a value of .1 along with some of my own magnet work at .8 there is no way anyone is going to be able to make a "Move L eye Up" morph out of that which would cheat DAZ out of V2 money. It's just ludicrous. It's their policy, so fine, end of story. But I'm here to tell you that the policy is daft. -WTB
