Incorrect April - 10% of a document can be used for Academic use (therefore you are legally allowed to repeat a small part of a document in your assignments, and books as quotes etc.) This is also used for the copying of screenshots in tutorial books (like Dummies) and other such stuff. I could find it but it might take me a while (I have to find my copy of New Zealand Copyright law books from University)- and it isn't written (that I remember) as "10% of your product is useable for academic purposes"... it is longer - you know how laywers are :P You could be right about it not being usable in Posin Solutions position - because I can't see how it could be seen as a academic product. I have just read through the EULA for POser 4 (can't find the one for Pro Pack) and can see a number of terms Posin Solutions might be breaking - but the problem is - cost of lawyers and such have to outweigh how much Curious Labs think they could be lossing from this company. I would thin Curious Labs have looked into it - it just miffs me when I see a company doing something like Posin are... It would be far to sell a book of your own original art (that is what Poser is for after all - original art) but what they have done is taken poses (and probably a number from Poser, or Free sources here, or Schlabber) and have just rendered a number of pictures to sell to poeple. No original art, etc... and no where on their site (that I have seen) do they give credit to Curious Labs, or even make reference to Poser software being used. Frustrating...
