And you are seeing it years after content creators already fought the battle to retain the copyright to their creations.

The real issue is money though. If content creators were rolling in huge piles of cash, they wouldn't care about 3d printed use, but the fact of the matter is only 10% of the content creators out there make enough to do it full time for a living.

I'm sure if you approached them with a reasonable amount for the right to digitally print thier copyrighted items, they would be happy to oblige, but th efact of the matter is poser content is grossly underpriced for the work involved in it's creation.

Example: The going rate for modelling a 3d statue for reproduction is between $1000 and $4000, depending on detail level and final sculpt size.

Tell me which poser content user is ready to pay that amount for reproduction rights? (And keep in mind, you need to buy the rights for everything you want to use in your print.. the figure, props, clothing, ect.

AND you also need to have them adapt is so it can be actually be 3d printed, which could be weeks of work.

This has been discussed MANY times in the last few years over and over again.

If you want to make 3d prints of items, learn to make them.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
