Folks here's the link to Steve Cooper's article on this in the CL Newsletter. This is not a big secret, and yes it is going to happen. But like Robert Belton said, it's nothing to get paranoid about.<<< Oh, I'm not paranoid. I'm p***ed. >>>Darth, considering how many warez copies were distributed in the first week of Pro Pack's release, it seems that some procedure is neccessary.<<< Agreed. But not one that will be such an inconvenience and potential disaster for legal users. And, having worked with a program that uses a similar system, it IS a potential disaster. No, I think CL just used up all the good PR it had built since taking Poser. And if I were the users of PPP, I'd be really peeved that to get a version that will actually work properly you have to sign your cyber-soul over via this slave system.
