I think it is important for software makers to know the feelings of thier potential customers, it is after all what will drive thier marketing and utimatly the design of the product. CL should hurry up and fess up and provide full disclosure of thier plans if for nothing else than to discover what the market will bear. If response is not favorable, they need to know before they make a huge mistake and end up belly up like manny companies have before. I for one will stay with poser 4 until CL gets it all straight. If the PPP upgrade is going to include such a copy protection plan, I wont upgrade, simple as that. If enough people feel the same way, CL will have to rethink thier plan if they want to sell anymore software. Its good that they know that before they make that mistake and have to file for chapter 11.
