I was up all night with this question, so now I put it to you to redeem or destroy my faith in the Poser Community as a whole. Things we all know: It is wrong to take someone else's textures and change a few pixels... add a tattoo... hue shift it... put your name on it and sell it. It is wrong to take someone else's .obj, delete some parts, add a few bows, put your name on it and sell it. It is wrong to take someone else's render and put it on your website without permission even if you give credit for it. It is wrong to identically copy someone else's idea for a texture pack such that you have to do a side by side comparision of where the buttons are to show that yours is different. It is wrong to identically copy someone else's idea for a clothing pack or character such that you have to do a side by side comparison of where the moles and dimples are to prove yours are different. These are things we all know, these are things we will publicly attack, berate, belittle, and generally anahilate people for doing to us and to fellow artists. Why then is Daz being publicly congratulated and thanked for http://www.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=2882&cat=5 I have seen numerous people complimenting the creator and thanking Daz for making available a pack that they clearly identify as being the 'Paine' pack. For those of you completely clueless as to who Paine is ... http://www.ffextreme.com/ffx-2/artwork/6.jpg http://www.ffextreme.com/ffx-2/artwork/7.jpg She is one of the 3 main characters from a Playstation 2 game called Final Fantasy X-2, by Square-Enix. I have contacted Daz and the person I talked to seemed unconcerned about the copyright violation, but I don't know if I find it more disturbing that they don't seem to care or that people are applauding them for doing it in the first place knowing not only the exact character it is supposed to be but knowing also that the character has a copyright associated with it. Why this effects me? I have a dream of someday doing character design for Square-Enix. Do poser users only protect the rights of poser users? When I attain my dream of working for Square-Enix doing exactly this sort of character design, will you all no longer protect my rights? Or the rights of the company that employes me? Will my rights no longer matter because I didn't make the character for you? Please consider these questions carefully and consider whether or not this package is actually honoring Square-Enix's investment in a fantastic artist's skill, or if it is using that artist's skill and Square-Enix's investment to put money in their pockets without offering any of it back to the original designer by getting it officially licensed. Please reaffirm my belief in the poser community standing up for 'ARTISTS' of any medium, not just its own. Do the right thing. Lady Littlefox
