What this ruling means is that if I used a shrink wrap method to copy Vicki's body shape onto a new original mesh, built a face and head, made it into a posable character, and then sold it, I have actually created a product in direct competition with Vicki. She would likely be a huge success for me, because she could of course wear Vicki's clothing" Isn't that Vina D.?
