"Karen Weissman of Stanford law has convinced me that, in fact, the information within a cr2 is not protected, as it does not specifically count as a work of authorship. The description of information within a cr2 is similar to a recipe, describing the process by which the mesh is modified by Poser. As you know, processes are not copyrightable." Therefore, by extension, CL does not own, nor can enforce ownership of the cr2 files (and most likely the format); nor, extensibly, any file that is merely a "recipe". Since this is merely a "process" which cannot be owned, CL is no further above the law than any other entity. See the following link: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/fls/fl122.pdf
