{camera and lighting settings (and by extention poses)can also be distributed and sold but not copywrited. other then those exceptions in no way does it limit your right to copyright your origonal content.} Camera and light settings, as well as poses are combinations of commands and parameters that have infinite variations. How is it that a cr2 is copyrightable, but these are not? Is a cr2 not just a combination of commands and parameters as well? It seems to me that you can either copyright the contents of all these types of files, or you can't copyright any of them. Granted, enforcing a copyright on poses or light settings might be a bit more difficult than on a character, but the principal is the same, especially if said character was made just by tweaking pre-exisiting morph dials (and look at the dearth of characters in the Marketplace that look almost identical). I don't understand the distinction. And is Curious Labs saying they own the copyrights to poses and light settings, or that nobody owns a copyright to them? While any of these copyrights might be difficult to enforce, I wouldn't think any vendor would want to just blindly sign away the right to do so.
