Here's another quote on this issue (from SKondris): "Thanks for your comments and questions. I'll try to answer all your concerns. "What we are stating here is DAZ's stance on this issue. Each artist reserves the right to decide for themselves what they want to do with their own products. "CodeTwister made his decision and stated it publicly. Now we have made our decision and want to do what we can to help everyone understand. Each artist/creator will need to cross this bridge themselves and make their own decision about each of their products as well when it begins to affect their own work. "The most important issue is what I tried to focus on in my initial post: circumvention. If someone passed around all of Michael 2.0's morphs within a cr2 for Michael shoes, would we get all hot-and-bothered about it? No. And why not? Because it creates no real damage to any of our products. There are some items which we are more concerned about, the bodysuit is the best example I can think of. If you have Michael 1 and the standard bodysuit, no big deal. If someone transfers all of Michael 2.0's FBM's into the new bodysuit cr2 file, then someone with only Michael one has everything he/she needs to create their own new muscular fantasy/superhero character. This crosses the line from being a creation which enhances or adds value to a product and instead begins to directly compete with that product. "There are several items even within our own store which use this technology in a good way. For example, the Vicki's Wedding Day dress contains several of the Victoria 2.0 breast morphs in itself. This adds significant value to the dress and even to Victoria 2.0, but it does not make someone think "Hey, all I really need is the dress". John Brugioni contacted us directly when he began to work on his morphing clothing paks because he realized that his work might be seen as an infringement. We didn't just turn him away and tell him not to do it, instead we worked with him individually and came to an agreement that worked for both parties in which he sells his products exclusively through our site. There will be certain items and situations that we will be more than happy to allow, there will also be some that we will not be so keen on. Whenever anyone has a specific question, please feel more than free to contact us and find out what we think. "We are not announcing our position to be malicious in any way. We want the community to thrive as much as possible, but we also feel a need to protect our own interests. We are a business and if everyone begins distributing for free what we spend months working to produce for the community, then DAZ will not be able to produce anything at all. This new technology empowers everyone in the community tremendously, we hope that all will use it responsibly and honestly. "Scifiguy, thanks for being so open with us and willing to communicate with us and abide by our decision, please contact us directly whenever you feel you need to discuss this in specific terms with us. Hopefully this helps you understand our position better and clears up this matter, if not please let me know. "Everyone here is gone for the night, but we'll be back in tomorrow to see what else needs to be addressed. "
