Mehndi, Sounds like you have become nothing but a spokeperson for DAZ. You are missing the point here. DAZ used the catsuit as a good example of what they will not allow. The reasoning? You can place the catsuit on Mike1 and it will look like Mike2. Ok I will give them that. They then state that it is OK to make a pair of Pants, because if you leave the shirt off mike it won't look right. But what if I make both a pair of pants AND a shirt? You can put both the shirt and pants on Mike and get the EXACT same result as using a one piece outfit. It doesn't matter that I modelled this item completly on my own or even made the morphs completly on my own. It FITS a mike2 morph and therefor breaks thier copyright. This is completly wrong! Think about this senario and think about the ramifications. If they take a stand on this then I can make only pants or shirts but not both. Why limit a modeller to just one catagory? Oh wait, they aren't. If I agree to sell through them I can do it. That is utter BS also as it stands in the way of free market. The analogy of K-mart not being able to sell Armani suits isn't a good one. It is the creator of the Armani suits that are setting this limitation, not K-Mart. In this case It is DAZ saying I can't sell at other stores if I make something, it doesn't matter if I have an agreement with them or not. If I make a Shirt and Pants set I should be able to say it can be sold only at such or such site. The sites can't say I can't sell it elsewhere if I have never entered an agreement with them.
