Bonnie is a common name, but there is only one genuine Bonnie 3D Poser character, MINE...

I never asked for the thread to be erased. Either the admins did it or the poster of the image
did it.
There's plenty of other names to choose from.
My character has a personality all her own and I don't want to see ads with a prissy looking
Poser Barbie doll.
Over zealous ? Me ?
No, just protecting my own creation, that's all.
They can go ahead if they like, but the won't get much respect from other artists.
If they do, then the artists who purchase the product have no integrity as far as I'm
concerned.
How do you think DAZ would react if I made a new mesh model and called her Victoria or
Stephanie and started selling it.
They would shit their pants and do everything in their power to stop me.

I'm not mad about it, but I think it shows that some people in the Poser world
have little respect or care for their fellow artists.
Since the concept and idea of a 3D character named "Bonnie" was mine, it is by law, my intellectual property.  I thought of it first and it is well known in Poser communities.
It's the same as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck being created by Walt Disney. 
...or Bugs Bunny and the Roadrunner, by their respective artists.
 Shrek, Woody, Buzz Lightyear and other 3D characters were created by someone and it is their
property.
