I tend to agree with Dreamcutter and EricVM. This move makes it harder to work in other applications under the auspices of saying they're providing you with enhanced features. That's a first step. Then the next step is limiting the number of computers you can use your own content on. Then they make it so your old content won't work in DAZ Studio and voila! you're in that walled garden and you're wondering how you got there. They never do big changes like that in one shot --most of the time they make one change here and there hoping that you won't notice what's happening. I'm not purchasing any Encrypted content, and I'm actually to the point where I have a few more purchases of older content I like before saying goodbye to the DAZ marketplace. I love the figures, but I don't care for being restricted either by content or platform. The moment they do away with manual downloads or DIM, will be the moment I stop shopping at DAZ completely.
