I told HR that as soon as he got his paws on our products that bumbling puppydog would have spread them everywhere, so there was no way that I was going to hire him. Indeed... of course, the one thing most folks don't bother to think of is that if your company gets a BSA audit, a single bit of copied/cracked software and the whole company gets hammered with a $150,000 fine - per copy found. At home folks can feel a bit more smug about it - there's no way the BSA has anywhere near the resources to chase down every single user. OTOH, DRM (Digital Rights Management) is coming, and with Win2k Service Pack 3 and Win XP Service Pack 1, you agreed by EULA to give MS the right to pop on into your hard drive any time they want and search for priated stuff (which is why I don't keep anything important on my Windows partitions.) And if you don't patch it, it remains open for every bug that comes along. Where do you want to go today? (evil grin)... I strongly suspect that if CL partnered in Microsoft's upcoming DRM program, fully 1/3 of Renderosity's Poser users would be shit out of luck, as DRM kicked in and disabled Poser.exe outright, then notified CL that so-and-so at IP addy such-and-such whose OEM Windows serial number matches to Joe Sixpack... well, you get the picture.
