*Quote -'To curtail piracy how about providing a serial number when purchasing content for Poser, like we do in the 'Waver community.
Or how about doing what Daz did - make the software available for such a low price that it's easier to pay for it rather than illegally download it?
I think that a lot people using pirated software would rather legitimately own it if they could afford it. The present paradigm with graphics software is that it's supposed to be notoriously expensive but this late in the game one may ask if this really needs to be so.
Poser is considered low priced compared to other graphic apps but how many copies would sell if it were priced at $50.00 rather than $200.00? This doesn't seem too outrageous to me when you consider that most purchases of Poser are of the download variety - no box, CD or manual :)
