Renderosity was accused of being a virtual monopoly, with much hoo-har (you note 3D Commune was effectively just a protest site - what was being protested?), and Curious Labs never was a monopoly in the marketplace except for the one program (they didn't even TRY to provide brokered models until after the release of Poser 5). DAZ (or Zygote) has practically always been there. Where do fears of a monopoly come from? Probably from a variety of places, but certainly their development of a Poser-replacement which has a proprietary binary format that they've stated WILL contain additional capabilities that they won't inform third-party model-makers about. But that's just my personal read on where the monopoly fears come from. Their comments that they fully intend to get a larger percentage of the model market may also play a part in this. Cheers, Cliff
