With the advent of P2P software like Kazzaa, Overnet and Bittorrent it is increadibly easy for someone to get hold of the software, Part of my day job is to look after a 15Tb storage system for a large multi-national. I spent most of the xmas break removing nearly 1Tb of "Warez" - mostly films and the latest games etc - and P2P software as well as adding yet more rules to our firewalls to stop the P2P access. I'm sure that most of you are aware that when you purchase software such as Poser, you are not buying the software but a license to use the software. In real terms you own the media and a right to install and run the software but you have no rights to the software itself, and most of theses licenses are non-transferable. Case in point, I purchased a couple of PCs and a stack of CDs at a company liquidation a few weeks ago, some of the CDs contained installs for V3 and her clothes etc. After posting here and reading the EULA I found that technically I was not able to use her without purchasing her from Daz (Which I did). But what if I had purchased a copy of say HalfLife2 from a store and had then lost my license key. I now own a license to use the software but cannot install it, in the real world all i would probably have to do is contact the puplisher, provide proof of purchase and ask for a replacement key, but how many people just jump onto Overnet and search up "Halflife2 cd-key". They own the licence and original CD-key but have resorted to taking anothers because it was far quicker than emailing the publishers and waiting a few days for a reply. Whilst typing this I've just done an filedonkey search for Daz3d - it returned just over 1000 results. Thats 1000 seperate pieces of Daz software that within a couple of hours I could start downloading straight to my PC, no credit card required. I guess what I'm trying to say is that its like giving someone the keys to a bank vault and asking them not to take any money while you are out. Most of out copyright laws were written to cover printed and other "physical" media, they are wowfully out of date for the digital age.
