As a related point of interest, someone in Qatar posted a fascinating message to the Poser newsgroup a few months ago. He claimed that the purchase of Poser was illegal in his country due to "the nudes," and that the Curious Labs website was blocked by the Qatari government. Renderosity wasn't mentioned. He didn't say how he'd obtained his copy, but that's beside the point. He was clearly frustrated with being creatively limited by his government. I daily count my blessings for being in a relatively free country, however there were rumblings some months ago that Mr. Ashcroft's DOJ is unhappy with the very existence of Poser, due to the potential for creating illegal imagery. A ridiculous argument, IMO, since all one needs is a pencil to make images that will seem immoral to someone, somewhere. Sorry if this is off topic for this forum. Keep the faith, vanezz2.
