Well, the technicalities of it confuse me, but what's new about that!? I had 2 cents laying around so I thought I'd drop it here since Ron has been an early friend since I came to R'City. Gleened from above: The post at PoserPros is just a quote that has been posted at DAZ for months. So, this is not new, it's just something that has come to light. I don't understand how the Tailor can "give" DAZ's morphs away, but I assume if they are concerned about it, it can be done. DAZ has never given me the impression they are "Microsoft-ish" I would not expect them to sue anyone. They pop out of nowhere and give stuff away that was unexpected. They have provided the perfect place to buy cheap yet incredible products that allow us to delve into something ordinarily very costly. They know the "Poser" community is a partnership. I would just expect them to say, "Pull the item." and leave it at that. They "cruise" this place ALL the time and I figure they know what's going on. So, I wouldn't worry about being sued. Ron, if I were in your shoes...sorry...I'd just send them an email and tell them you are taking said products off the list...or even ask them for clarification if you wish. I'm sure you'd meet a considerate answer. To make it simpler, do as they "suggested"...if somehow their copyrights are being circumvented, though it appears to be legal, then, it is illegal. I know Ron to be a person completely against warez and I don't think for a moment he had that intent in mind. I don't think DAZ would, either. As a side note, I find it weird that the author of Tailor would take the stance he has since it would cut into his sales. I mean people could let others make mods for clothing and pass it on to those who didn't even own Tailor. Personally, I think the Tailor should be for personal use. And...hehe, I need to buy it. My 2 cents is up.... Please don't get upset with this revelation from DAZ. As I said, if the Tailor can somehow give away thier product, then it should not be allowed. I want thier profits to remain healthy and their prices to remain where they are right now.
