This forum seems to be pretty blase about the "loosey-goosey" business practices of Curious Labs and DAZ. Apparently these two companies can do no wrong as long as they keep fulfilling our "fix" for new Poser stuff. I myself have pointed out that DAZ is aggresively selling MIMIC without mentioning that it's not fully compatable with Michael and Vicky (either version). Regardless of the fact that there's an easy fix for it (suggested not by DAZ but by Jamball77), by NOT mentioning the problem, DAZ is engaging in FALSE advertising, pure and simple. But in this forum, this has all been met with a collective yawn. Hard to believe that this is the same forum that was up in arms when a company called Imaginationworks "borrowed" some of the mesh of the P4 woman to create a new female figure. Imaginationworks' reasoning was that everybody already had the P4 woman so what was the big deal. Seemed like an honest mistake to me, but people here were ready to execute them at dawn. They quickly corrected the problem, but you never hear their name spoken of again. BAM has pointed out something that affects all of us and I commend him for doing it. If we don't keep and eye on this stuff, then sooner or later somebody's going to abuse our collective goodwill. Caveat emptor jjsemp
