My Mood:

Well, I really don't like option 2. Anything that limits the usage of your files to one specific program - I support the hell no option.

I don't even know Adobe Illustrator, is it anything like Adobe Photoshop?

I am not a graphical designer for a living, so I refuse to pay for this expensive kind of software. Which means I do all my work in the Gimp - a program I've grown quite accustomed to over the years, and honestly, when I tried Photoshop CS3 on a friend's PC all it did was made me dislike the program since I couldn't find a way to scale layers independantly from each other (and he says there isn't such an option). That is however one of the things I do nearly with every picture I edit in Gimp.

Option 1 I have no quarrel with though. It won't stop anything though. They can still GLIntercept the skin before you release the PSDs.

Overall, I think trying to stop the BIAB people is a great ideal. But it's an ideal. It's not going to happen in reality no matter what you do. If what they did was actually against your license, I'd recommend simply ARing + DMCAing them all, but since they do nothing wrong according to the license there's no legal reason to do so now.
