There seems to be a great deal of concern that the looming international trade treaties might be the end of fan culture as we know it. I've read a few articles in the past year or so, but... danged if I can find the links I thought I saved. Apparently Japanese cosplayers are especially concerned about the ramifications of the treaties. The whole thing freaks me out a bit.

Disney's handling of copyright clampdowns seems to be a bit inconsistent. They haven't been as diligent with the Star Wars or Marvel superheroes properties as with their own animated properties, as far as I can tell.

Yvonne Craig gave permission to fans to use her image in creative works, before she died last year. I don't think her statement would protect anyone if DC-Time Warner or Paramount, or the owners of whatever characters she portrayed, were to begin a crackdown.

Fandoms have been lucky to have so much internet openness and tolerance. I guess that could end at any time, perhaps quickly. Eep.

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
