As far as DAZ is concerned, this isn't about CL being viable, any more. This is about digital rights management and its notable absence from Poser. When Napster was stretching its wings in 2000, Dan Farr saw what the future of selling unencrypted digital content was going to be like, and it was not good. Once it's in your Runtime folder, it's shareable with anyone (esp. through file format conversion). There are lots of ways to follow iTunes' model of controlled, authorized use, but unless Curious Labs takes the lead, DAZ might as well be selling .MP3 files. If P5 never happened and D|S was the standard, the online store at DAZ would be using a variant of public key encryption on your downloads, with 'bots trolling the P2P networks for shared serials to blacklist. If I could guarantee that kind of protection on my content, I'd give away the viewer, too. (But then I'd also have to module-by-module reproduce all the 3rd party renderers/animators I'd no longer be permitting export to)
