True in the meaning that it is Hivewire that is calling the shots. If somebody made a clone and put up on sharecg (and 100+ other free stuff sites) tomorrow, Hivewire is the only company that can take it down.

But why should they do that?

To ensure their character survives? If Dawn can be duplicated on another figure with an already large existing library, why would people feel the need to invest in the original?

Because a shape duplicate is not a figure duplicate. Shapes are easibly changeable with morphs. Taking V4 and morphing her to look like Dawn would NEVER give you Dawn - V4 can never bend that well for starters, specially without magnets and JCMs.

Dawn looks beautiful and I love that, but that's the smallest of my love for her - we have her awesome rigging, her nicely placed polys, her well-made UV mapping, etc etc.
