"HOWEVER, and this is the big crucial "however", because the new cr2's generated by The Tailor still require that people possess both AIko and the Victoria Clothing Pak in order to make use of the new CR2's. Whenever a new character or product requires that both the figure that the morphs were transferred from and the figure that the morphs were transferred to be owned already by the users, then this process is legal." Translation: Tailor is legal.<< Yup, Tailor is legal. So is DISTRIBUTION of the FILES made with Tailor (or any OTHER program) >>"For example, if someone creates a CR2 file for Michael's Bodysuit that contains the Muscular3 morph from Michael 2.0 and then begins to distribute that new CR2 publicly or commercially, suddenly people who have never purchased Michael 2.0 will benefit from items included only within Michael 2.0. We feel that this is unfair, particularly when it creates a disincentive to purchase that original product. Basically, anything that circumvents the need to purchase an original product is most likely not allowed." Translation: Tailor is not legal.<< Wrong. Tailor is still legal. So is any other program that will allow the making of morphs. DISTRIBUTION of the FILES is illegal, not the program used to create the files. What I really, really, really do NOT understand is why this is such a huge deal. Everyone with even the least bit of sense KNOWS that there are just some things you cannot share without prior authorization. And even in the case of the "posette hand" incident that someone mentioned earlier somewhere, DAZ and the other party were able to work things out and come up with a compromise that enabled BOTH parties to benefit. Personally, I find this to be "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" ~ W. Shakespeare Kate
