Well, anyone can print up a professional-looking label, sticker or anything at all. It doesn't make it legitiimate. The post-it comment was overboard, sorry, it was more a slam at people who pirate software. I'm sure the real Poser box was intended to do exactly what it did: make you think the deal was legitimate, Maybe he burned copies of a real Poser 8 install disk. And grabbed a bunch of serial numbers from the same people who distribute warez. Probably somebody else eventually got the same serial# and was unable to register. Whatever, the fake "Poser Pro 8" title gives it away. Sometimes these guys can't resist doing one more little thing, and blow it.

All is made right by buying a real Poser 9 / 2012. :)
