pepsi - coke... Tylenol - generic brand. MCI - AT&T I for one am not going to run my products through yet another program - no way no how! I'll buy Dina first and hope that soon she will be given a fabulous wardrobe (but I figure that soon there would be free tailored items to fit her) and a better face. I am also well aware that despite the comment above of "What happens with DAZ distributed items is really up to them, so you're asking in the wrong place. However, I very much doubt DAZ would require encoding for anything they distribute themselves. " they will have to follow their own rules on this. If they require all items sold that are not brokered at DAZ to have this safe guard then legally they must instill these safeguards on those items they do broker or they have created an unfair marketability which will create a very lovely court battle. One can not say "you can't do this unless we have all rights...." In essence a modeller could sue them for unfair practices. Furthermore by not encoding the products themselves they are in essence saying "it's not really a problem" and the court system will see that they do not actually consider it a problem. Because unless their system checks and insures that you have previously bought M2 before allowing you to purchase the M2 bodysuit (an illegal invasion of privacy) then they have no way of knowing that I didn't just buy the M2 bodysuit to stick on M1.. Sorry MS tried that remember? didn't work for them either and they are alot more powerful with more money to fight their cause. If I were a modeller (and I'm not) I would continue along in the creation of clothes that fit and let them try to prove it in court. Obnoxious? Yes, worried - no, for several reasons. First of all, the first time they try to take this to court many of those who model clothing will back up a fellow modeller or run for the hills in regards to clothing for DAZ characters. So we will see a huge batch of clothes for new characters. Secondly, many will see a lawsuit against approximated morphs as an attempt to curb free enterprise and will no longer shop, support (via linking etc.) or refer DAZ in any manner. In the end when they lose (and I really have no doubt that they can not claim approximations as derivatives) the stain on their reputation will be such that they will never recover. But let's assume that in some twilight zone universe they win - so what, by winning they will lose because the modellers will not create for them and frankly most of DAZ's store is fueled by brokered creators. Try using a DAZ certificate there and see how hard it is to find anything non-brokered.
