DAZ used to sell disks of content, but I don't think they have in at least 10 years.

Edit: this is a Way-Back Machine image of the DAZ Store in 2003; none of this stuff is actually for sale these days...

Of course, here in the States, a physical copy of a book, movie or recording can then be resold under the "Doctrine of First Sale."  It's not clear if that applies to software and other content (I know it applies to Software in the EU)  There was a recent case here where the Court found against it, but the fellow was reselling old copies with licenses that had been used to qualify for upgrades; I remember Lotus used to require you send in the old disk to upgrade back in The Day.

You get tired of V5, put the disk on eBay; that would likely hurt sales more than Piracy... :D

PS;  I would have expected a render of a Pirate being killed creatively in the MadLab or something by now... :)
