You guys talk about cloud and DRM as if they are one and the same. This thread isn't about DRM, any more than a car talk about engine performance would require a discussion of vehicular homicide. Wow - so paranoid.

Personally, I would like it if when I want a Poser package, it comes as a zip file behind the scenes and it automatically unpacks it in the local runtime of my choosing, and also puts it (the zip) in my cloud-based backup area, so when I eventually have to replace this computer, it all magically reappears. I would also like a one-click button that means "that freebie I just downloaded is crap and I want to remove it and all its stinking pieces automatically."

Nowhere in that scenario is there any DRM, nowhere do I have to be connected in order to use my content, and nowhere am I "renting" anything that can be pulled out from under me.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
