I don't think there are any ideas or products that are entirely original. I think if you followed much of the logic here, there would be no free stuff. There might not be any stuff for sale by different companies. Curious Labs owns Poser. DAZ, and other companies make stuff for Poser. What stops Curious Labs from saying "You can't produce stuff for Poser because we own it?!" What stops DAZ from telling Renderosity or other companies that they can't produce or sell Poser-related characters, props, scenes, etc because they already produce such stuff?! Let's be real here. One great thing about Poser is the kind of support that it offers. You can go to many commercial sites and find excellent Poser-related resources. You can shop around for what you buy. In my first week of using Poser, I visited countless web sites that gave me 13 CD's of FREE Poser stuff.. That collection has now reached 48 and counting. Much of the free stuff is just as good, if not better than the "commercial" items. You will find similar resources in both free and commercial areas. Most of the people out there are not ripping off someone else. They are not selling what someone else gave away. They are not stealing secrets. The people who give away their Poser creations are to be commended, and thanked profusely. Many of us Poser users could barely afford to buy Poser, let alone spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to buy the great stuff at DAZ 3D or Renderosity. We will eventually get all the stuff on our wish lists. That list keeps growing. In the meantime, we live for the excellent FREE resources. I know that many people who provide free Poser resources also sell some. Perhaps many of them used the Free market as a way to be sure they've developed their talents enough to be of "commercial potential." Perhaps some products are so excellent, or take so much work that they really should involve a price tag. One thing I love about Poser-related merchandise is that so much of it is very affordable. I don't recall any Poser related resource that has reached "triple digits." Most products are well under $100. There is one reality here. We have many excellent artists who would like to earn a living with their talents. We have many excellent artists who need to pay the bills for whatever they use to do their work, and share their products. I've always considered myself a self-described "frustrated writer and hopeful artist." I am nowhere near creating anything to give away or sell yet... My artwork has barely progressed beyond the primitive state. But I know what is like to have the dream of earning a living based on your god-given talent. I commend and support anyone who tries. I really wanted to buy Nerd's Backdrop Tool. It is on my list. Money is tight these days.....that list gets bigger, and the purchases are not in the immediate horizon. If one generous soul is willing to give away a similar tool (obviously not stolen, etc), then don't harass him for the effort. Thank him. I will.
