"Does anyone really believe that the encoding process is there for any reason but data protection? (Officially it's for speed of loading! - On what, a 486?) Does anyone really believe DAZ wouldn't seek protection under the DMCA? Truly ironic when you consider that the single largest beneficiary of the current open Poser formats, extending them and building products based on that EULA-forbidden reverse engineering, is ... you guessed it, DAZ!!!" Why do you think D|S doesn't support scripting? Do you think Daz will risk that someone will make his/her plug-ins (as with Poser Python) and NOT BUYING Daz ones? ;)
