Quote - As justa artist on the sidelines and not even a creator of models and textures or anything like that my opinion after reading all this as one option since it's all overwhelming/ time consumming/non-profitable and unethical as to the problems at hand would be for creators to beat the copycats at their own game and instead Join SL/IMMU besides Poser community too.
Therefore each would have the jump on any copycat in that each creator would be marketing their OWN products in both versions to sell...making more money themself plus detouring anyone from marketing what is already posted by said creators.
I see it like this...If this has all been going on so long and the Top Stores..DAZ/SL/IMMU haven't stepped up to the plate and protected their selling patrons already in these areas from the getgo it's bound to go on eons more before any and everything is addressed with ironclad laws all around (which is also almost non-existant as long as people are involved making money for whatever reasons) to help the Actual creators in the here and now.  It's all about greed for the most part...always has been and always will be due to a poor immoral world we live in.
Interesting topic.

touche'...and i agree...wonderfully put...

*Here's another proof for that: The new textureconverter 2, released yesterday at DAZ has a second-life plug-in so can convert any  V4, V3,M3 etc. texture into a second-life texture.

WE ARE ALL GONNA GET SCREWED ..doesn't matter that is plainly in red wordings says can not convert textures of another person and sell anywhere.. people from SL do not care and are gonna do it anyways. Hell pretty soon all 3D stores will have a SL section or something.

and so in stating that...it seems Daz and Poser are responsible for makingv it easier for peopel to abuse the rules?

Oh and one other thought...their are creepy people all over the world, in your neighborhoods...at the schools, in law inforcement..sooooo..define creepy, odd, strange, weird, and by what standards do we use to call them this?

ok..this is so childish an issue. I do create in SL, and no I dont use anything from Poser to do it!!! So, grow up and dont post, or grow up and challenge those in SL to outdo your work.
Also, the alternative, join SL, create your own works and tell them to kiss creative genuis;)
