Smith Micro wants to put a Kill Switch in for Poser, but is holding off for now (thank goodness) and now Daz is looking at DRM -but I'm not sure what they mean by it.

Nerd3D hinted about a "poison pill" to ensure Poser future. With poison pill people mean e.g. releasing the sources of a dying application as GPL. I have no idea if this is true, if Nerd3D was simply lying to soothe fears about SmithMicro "un-stellar" future or whatever.

I am not terribly afraid of long term future. Let's make it clear: without Poser and Studio, digital internet pornography would not exist. With such a high stake, anything is possible, even MindGeek stepping in and buying Poser/MangaStudio from SmithMicro or the whole DAZ from their japanese investors.
