Mobster that sounds very logical but I guess DAZ (like many US-companys e.g. IBM, Oracle, ...) rely more on these two historical statements:

britain rules the waves but america waives the rules (from america cup historie) pacta sund servanda (latin from very long ago) Second one is unknow e.g. to Donald Trump. I guess he had not have latin in school ...

Both together means US is a land of lawyer and even if something sounds logical it needs not to be successful in law suits ... I would not try to discuss law things with companies able to pay dozends of lawyers even if I'm sure to be on the right side. Very very sad but true ... so no actualized V4 although the girl is it worth and the invests into all these content would be a very honest argument.

But there is a difference between what companies "feel" is right and what they can actually do. Because if you think about it, what Wolf359 is suggesting, if its true, and this is what they claim. Daz have claimed a specific human body shape as their IP, I mean we are not taking about V4 face or design as such, but if any character fits any cloth that would fit V4, then they would be able to claim that someone had violated their IP. US or not, I really have a hard time believing that such thing would be possible, because we will run out of human shapes very fast then. Because I guess this would be the same for any character, so any Genesis character, PE could do the same, SM with theirs etc. I think someone might have misunderstand what Daz is talking about legally here. Disney can and does protect Mickey mouse as a design for example, but they can not prevent anyone from ever creating a character which is a mouse at same basic shape, if it looks different. So as long as you don't directly rip off their design there would be no problem. V4 rig is not unique either, loads of characters use that or something similar, so it need to be in regards to her complete design if you ask me. Meaning that you copy/paste her looks and everything.
