troberg, I'll take some of the lightning for you. Since you intended to evaluate only, what you did was equivalent to shareware. Altho I recognize and acknowledge the "evils" of warez for purposes of use without payment, if it was me, I wouldn't feel very guilty about making use of warez to evaluate a product that I was unsure of. Especially in light of the "bug-free" product that CL originally released. And, to use someone else's example, you can evaluate a car before you buy it: it's called a test drive. And, NO, what troberg did is NOT analogous to "borrowing" someone's car off the street and "test-driving" that: while troberg had his borrowed copy of Poser 5, no one else was deprived of it's use. If CL had released a time-limited evaluation of Poser 5, no one would have purchased it after the evaluation because it was so riddled with bugs.
