Curious Labs owns the software program poser. it does NOT own the word poser. It has somewhat of a stand when it comes to websites with poser-related content. It doesn't own the rights to any content created for use in poser. No one can copyright or trademark a single word. It has to be a phrase, sentence or paragraph. They could prevent someone creating software with the same name, if its similar software, but they really can't prevent someone from having a web site with the word poser in it. Its probably a case of CL taking offense in some form, to the site name "poser free," as a sort of slander, or something along those lines. And the site owners probably didn't want a confrontation. CL also can't prevent anyone from hosting or distributing free poser content, so long as its their content and not something that CL created themselves. E.D.
