Problem is even if you buy the non-copy protected stuff there is no guarantee your item will be exportable - the maker could to choose to lock for export.

Encryption/locking are 2 different things.  Encryption = tied to each Vue version - reg code required(updates etc etc).  Locked = can't export.

Why would I pay for example $20 for house only to find out I can't export out????  It really is ashame, cause  C3d does have a lot of nice models, I suppose I can inquire each time I came across an item I like to see if it's locked...but who has time for this? My puter time is limited & quite frankly I don't want to spend it PM'ing etc etc to find out what should be obvious & not needed.  Aside of the fact the are expensive compared to the same quality  as seen in other stores with NO HASSLES!
