If you follow the link that ronknights posted, will see an image showing a comparison of what Daz DOES NOT WANT TO HAPPEN. Using Tailor to recreated Mike2/Vicki2 morphs WITHOUT the buying of Mike2/Vicki2. I am going to distill the information into points. 1. DAZ creates Mike2/Vicki2. Which are basiclly Mike1/Vicki1 with morphs. Daz wants to protect those morphs. For exmaple, if somebody who owns Victoria 1 got their hands on the morphs from Victoria 2, they could use the morphs without paying for them. 2. John Brugioni creates Morphing Clothing Paks for Victoria and Michael. They are the clothing paks with Mike2/Vicki2 morphs. 3. Codetwister creates The Tailor. An application that can approximate morphs from one base figure into a conforming figure. 4. People where using Tailor to put Victoria 2 morphs into clothing for ease of use and to make the clothing more usable. For example, I now have downloaded two Victoria catsuits that Victoria 2 morphs in them. 5. Somebody points out that a person could use Tailor and approximate Mike2/Vicki2 morphs from clothing back to Mike1/Vicki1. Effectively getting Mike2/Vicki2 morphs WITHOUT paying for them. Point 5 shows the problem. Daz could claim Tailor reverse engineers THEIR morphs and forbid distribution of clothing with Mike2/Vicki2 morphs. To protect their morphs, Daz would also have to pull John Brugioni's Morphing Clothing paks and the3dwizard's Clothing Morph Kit 3 because they contain Mike2/Vicki2 morphs and somebody using Tailor could get the Mike2/Vicki2 morphs without paying for them. All above has been pure fact. Below is my opinion. That course of action is not fair to John Brugioni or the3dwizard. They worked very hard to re-create the morphs in the clothing. Also, Daz would have to ban all magnets that mimic Mike2/Vicki2 morphs because somebody could create morphs based on them and use Tailor to approximate them into another character. Daz can not put the genie back in the bottle. Daz does have the legal right to control what happens to thier morphs. But, From what I see. Tailor automates what John Brugioni and the3dwizard did. Daz accepted those morphs as being different. Are the ones created in Tailor different from the base morphs used? I say yes. Well, I hope I made it easier to understand the issue. But, ultimately it is up to Daz to decide.
