I can understand CP doing this, but I don't think it's clever and for sure it's going to cost customers. But I've never understood most of the marketing strategies various Poser stores adopt. They are going out of their way to offend customers time after time. Very odd, I always thought a marketing strategy is supposed to draw customers, not scare them away.

I think they should at least allow customers to download the freebie even if they are not a passport member of do not own the required software. Perhaps if you buy something you have the option to add the weekly freebie to your order also?
