What a tasty melange of fact, fiction, truth, half-truth, fantasy, inuendo, speculation etc. At least, I can throw in my own "guess" and not feel that I'm lowering the standards of communication here. Two words: Reverse Engineering (as in the license agreement). There is a reason software companies create potentially competing/infringing products in so called "clean rooms," where the developers have no access to the code of the product they're targeting. They want an audit trail to prove they didn't use someone else's intellectual property in their creation I'm guessing this is Daz' position. If you (whether manually or using the Tailor) need to use their meshes to create your product then that's reverse engineering and they can bring legal action against you. Whether it would hold up in court is up to a jury. In their view, they are exercising discretion in deciding whether or not a particular item is one they should disallow, just like the cop who may ley you slide for going 5 mph over the limit. If this is the case, then yes, they could "outlaw" shrink wrapping, etc. but have chosen not to. This may seem arbitrary but they are making decisions based on their own interests, trying to balance them with maintaining good relationships with the Poser community. You may disagree or feel that they are doing a bad thing but they obviously feel they have the law on their side. They may be wrong but anyone with even a laymen's knowledge of the legal system knows that trying to say what would or wouldn't result from going to trial is foolish at best. That's why wise people usually try to settle out of court. Someone needs to use Avatar Lab so we can have an arena with "real" death matches. The verbal blood and guts is getting too tame. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming. "He is the princes jester : a very dull fool; only his gift is in devising impossible slanders: none but libertines delight in him; and the commendation is not in his wit but in his villany; for he both pleaseth men and angers them, and then they laugh at him and beat him."
