As long as Studio can do unencrypted exports then any DRM on imported content is moot. Weather from DAZ own storefront or any other storefront. I would be more worried about the connection between my credit details and the store front. If I am being given "suggestions" as to what product will work in my scene based on currently used products in said scene; and I can purchase the suggested asset without leaving Studio or the scene I am working on; then DAZ is attaching my credit details to their "secure server" which they claim is not true. I was told in the DAZ forums that this was not possible. That the server with the content is not the same server as that which holds my credit data. If such is the case then there must be a link between DS4.9 and both their content server and their business server. Someone isn't telling the whole story. Is the protection of DAZ PAs more important than the credit data protection of the customer?

I don't think you understand how software development works. You can make calls from an app to other secure services and make it look like they're one app so it's seamless to the customer. For instance if you use paypal for your purchases instead of using a credit card directly, all the app needs to to is make the appropriate calls so that it connects to that and sends the result back to the calling app so it knows whether the transaction succeeded or not.
