KattMan, Actually, by reading the PDF at the link I supplied (but did not HTML edit so it could be easily followed) it states that only recipes that have a substantial artistic/literary component may be copyrightable and only those portions that are artistic/literary in nature might be protected by copyright. Therefore, in the case of CR2 files, the only information contained within the file itself is an instruction set (aka a "recipe" or "process") which Poser reads and produces the final output (aka the "figure" or "character"). My interpretation would lend me to believe that neither the CR2 nor the file format may actually be copyrightable; therefore no one - including CL - can claim copyright protection for CR2 files. (And, by extension, any other file/format that is merely a "recipe" or "process".) However, I am interpreting this as a layman and not a lawyer, and a court case would most likely be the only authorative method of applying/interpreting the law to this particular case.
