*But since some of the above seem to make it clear that they get their software and models from P2P- which basically means theft and piracy- I'm not surprised at their LACK of concern about security issues.
I guess I must be one of the few people who still BUY their software and models. I hadn't realized that the acceptance of THEFT is so wide-spread and basically "cheered"...
(Only STUPID people still BUY their software and models, according to some of the above posts...)*
Oops. I think that you are misinterpeting wolf359's post. He's one of the last people that I would accuse of using P2P for purposes of theft.
He was merely stating that since it's so easy to steal models by the services of P2P, then why would any hacker expend the great effort that's required to swipe the models directly? Not to mention the risks involved to the thief. P2P is so much easier.
BTW - I don't have any P2P software. I know some people that use Kaazaa -- and there are legit uses for that software -- but I don't have it. Or any others like it.
As for wolf359, he's an old hand in the Poser community -- well known. No P2P going on there, I wouldn't think.
If its not happening to YOU- then you are NOT concerned...
No.....I just don't see this one as a serious threat.
And that's my honest opinion.
If I did perceive this to be a matter of deep concern, then I'd say so -- whether it was happening to me or not.
