I think the "amnesty" means that you can get the upgrade price without needing Poser 5. You just supply your P4, Pro Pack, or Poser Artist serial number and you get P6 at $99.
I doubt this "amnesty" is being extended to pirated copies- you probably need a serial number for some part of the purchasing process.

You know, this seems very similar to the release of Poser 5. CL released it for a special price of $250 (approx) and then Amazon.com sold it for $99 a few months later.
With Poser 6, CL sold the boxed "white queen" edition for $250 (approx) and is now selling a downloadable copy for $99. Granted you don't get the nice box and CD and thick manual (and you have to wait for it to download), but still...

I said this when Poser 5 came out and I'll say it again now (because even I didn't take my own advice):
When Poser 7 comes out, do NOT buy it immediately. Wait 4-5 months until it's priced at $99.00. It happened twice before and it will probably happen again.
By waiting a few months, you'll get the patched version for a cheaper price. Sure, you may have to get the downloadable version, but you'll get it for less than 1/2 price!
