No need to whack the computer! I was addressing the missing manual issue without checking the copyright issue. The legal info in the P4 manual (on the last couple of pages in mine) does not directly answer your question. On the copyright question, markdotcom has it right, however. That is, if you make a picture or an animation, you have a copyright in that work. It is also my understanding that you have a license to use the premade models and textures royalty-free to create images, etc., but cannot redistribute copies of the models and textures themselves. If you want the ultimate, official word on it, contact legal@curiouslabs.com (CL are largely the Poser4 programmers who took over the program, along with a German company, when MetaCreations sold it). Unofficially, you can use the search function on this forum, as copyright/copywrite questions are often discussed here.
