"DAZ_Randall is starting to sound pissed off (and with good reasons).
How many times do you need to be told a thing in order to accept it?
V5/Genesis are tied to Studio. Studio is tied (not yet, but will) to the CMS. Carrara is being tied in the same way to the CMS (see info about the newest build of Carrara on DAZ forums). DAZ content distribution will go the app store-like way (with likely the CMS as download/install manager). The CMS will tell you whether there are updates (read it will phone home, maybe on a voluntary basis but... one never knows).
Nothing in the above picture has any connection with Poser apart from a half baked (even for DAZ standards!) CR2 exporter. Everything of the above screams copy protection against warez sites (that pirates will find a way around all this is sure as much as that all this will piss off correct customers, a feature of all copy protection schemes).
In Italian there is a saying "Mangiare la minestra o saltare dalla finestra" (eat the soup or jump from the window, the English version "you can like it or you can lump it" hasn't the same feeling of doom). Either you eat the ContentStore-CMS-Studio-Genesis-V5 soup or jump from the window (and land on a deliciously soft mattress, as far as I am concerned).

Well said sir ...Well said!!
