One thing that we, the individual users, can do: Buy stuff. Actually buy it. Buy the Poser software, don't steal it. Buy things in the marketplace here at RR (and elsewhere). Some people might not like this, but MONEY is the mother's milk of any business endeavor. One can cite all the tenets of ideals that one wishes. Capitalism rules the world. If the owners of Poser make money, then, they will stay in business. If end-users refuse to pay for the software, pirate it, and then steal other Poser-related products, the owners of Poser might then cut out on a bad investment. And I wouldn't blame them. Don't expect the labor of others to be handed out, free. Business is business. We all have to eat. And we all have a right to expect a return on our investments. Even CL has this right. Buy the program. Buy the stuff that the merchants here at RR produce. If you want to keep your favorite hobby going, support it. And support the individuals and corporate (what an EVIL word!) entities that make your hobby possible.
