It increases piracy because customers take issue with the inconvenience they suffer, while those who get the pirated version, won't have that inconvenience.

I take offense to that, Pumeco, and so should every other person on this forum. I'm not a crook or a thief. Just because Poser  or any other company does  something I may not like with their product by no way means that I am willing to steal it. The only exception to that would probably be something that I honestly can't live without , like food or water, or perhaps something that creates an extreme hardship. Poser does not qualify on either of those grounds. Nor does any other software I own. I did without them before they came along, and I can do without them again, if need be. Sorry, but unless there's some great humanitarian need, piracy is just theft, pure and simple and there is NO justification for it.
