Personally, I think thats a bad idea, if I had to download an update all of the time and have the company have the potential to be able to cease my use of the program, I think that isnt fair. It loses all of the simple uses of a program, whats next, having to type in a username and a password to be able to use each program???? Also if this program is able to send out the times I use the program and all of that out to the companies, isnt that an invasion of privacy? Also I have documents and such on my computer, which are private, if their programs are capable of monitoring piracy, then is there a chance that these built in utilities can send out other data as well? (passwords, credit card numbers, online ordering info) If this could potentially give the companies the power to do that to my computer, I definatly think the software industry would crash, because to have my privacy invaded is a terrible thing. Also if this "Limits" your uses of poser, does this mean being unable to use two copies on two different computers that I own? If companies can shut off your use of the program, then couldnt they just force you to buy updates and such? Personally thats scary, and unfair. That is my two cents, maybe some more change will be thrown in later :)
