I can't speak to what Hivewire is doing, since I don't know, and this isn't really the place to discuss it.

But speaking of hypothetical business practices, indeed, people seem to keep forgetting that vendors are, for the most part, freelancers. You don't get to dictate onerous terms to freelancers unless you have such a large share of the market that they have no choice but to work with you. Hence the kerfuffle going in book publishing.

I was about to spout off my own theories about succeeding in the 3d content market, when it occurred to me that it could so easily be a very short-lived business anyway:

It seems to me that if Amazon joined in to the 3d content market, and vendors started migrating there, it'd change the game rather significantly. 

Yeah, I personally feel that building the same content for two different programs to be extraneous untill there are enough cross-the-lines utilties available to ease the burden.  Of course there is nothing barring someone from making Poser-only content.  It might not be well-favored across the aisles but as you said, most vendors are freelancers, so it really is a choice at the end of the day.
