Since DAZ gives Studio away for free .DAZ isn't worried about the software thief's but the meshes thiefs is another story I'm sure.

the web connections n subscriptions etc etc is the latest thief prevention idea. if it works as bad as dongles ... I'm sure DAZ is looking in to anti meshes thief prevention.

I like Blender ,Love the Price. the built in sculptor is wicked. I Love C4D ,Hate the price. I'm going to Houdini Indie.

Guess you know about Poser Fussion for LW,C4D,Max,Maya
