I am sure that DAZ realise that the bulk of the community here are law abiding folks.You just need to read the various posts,previous to this situation,to realise that copyright issues are paramount.Communities such as Renderosity assist DAZ & other vendors by self-policing copyright materials.There have been several cases of "Misappropriation" highlighted recently. I appreciate DAZ's perspective but feel that if they do not allow a certain amount of "Artistic" leeway it will just encourage the distribution of Poser related material via P2P.I don't have Mike but if I wanted him ,& wasn't prepared to pay for him, I would download from P2P rather than cobbling a 2nd rate solution together from a bodysuit. DAZ also run the risk of the very talented users of this forum ,& others, developing non-copyrighted characters to replace Vicky/Mike,which would be commercially disasterous. Common/commercial sense should prevail here,Daz should appreciate we are not all pirates & we,Poser users, should continue to assist DAZ & other vendors by continuing to support them by buying their products & equally importantly, by highlighting any copyright infringements we come across.
