Now that's an interesting question. The contract is between Vanishing Point and Content Paradise. Beyond the fact that VP will continue to sell at CP, why are the details of the contract anyone else's business?

No business of mine, just a curiousity. As far as the contract, it usually carries over w/ the purchase - they have to honor it (but not renew it, which is why I was asking :) ). -- Anton - you've encapsulated part of what I was thinking perfectly... stores usually don't carry other stores, but individuals they will. > Quote - Does anyone know if it was RDNA and Renderosity who opted not to renew the contracts?

Neither party will say - it ain't good PR. OTOH, I still think there are changes afoot that will mean a stronger SM (which they have a fiducary duty to do as a publicly traded corp), even if it means a weaker 'everybody else' in the process. While I don't see DAZ affected (CP still carries accessories for DAZ goods built by third parties), I can see Rendo and RDNA being affected by the smaller potential customer base. /P
