Hi Razon thank you for your thoughtful & respectful reply back to me, I understand everything you say & your point of view. But lets just leave it as we agree to disagree. I will still be using my Daz studio 4.8 along with upgrades to other software & will I buy support those products that only can be access without encryption.

BTW for the record I may not make 3d content . But I do make and sell web site starter templates in HTML5 , Jquery , API frame works and C+++ ,web site back end templates. which take me weeks to develop comes in a ZIP file. & it usually end up being pirated within a few weeks of being released on MonstertempleteDotcom where i sell them, so I understand exactly what your saying of potential income loss. The one difference is my products will come with lifetime support & not filled with Malware,viruses & crypto- lockers or worst, like you will find on torrents offering my pirated products. So anyone that is stupid enough to use pirated content deserves to be cryto-locked & eventually will be if they keep seeking out illegal content. that is why I believe serious users will not use pirated content.because of the investments they have in their computer equipment. So I believe the lost in revenue because of Piracy is not as great as I am being told by other that sell on that site as well.. like it is in the music industry. Pirating is very frustrating I agree. trying to get those sites to remove my products is a real hassle and sometimes can not be removed at all because of where the servers are located in other counties... so I have come accept it as doing business online. doesn't mean I'm going to starting selling them as a Subscription cloud encrpted only content like Adobe or other places do. I'm still using MS office 2008 which is not cloud service works great. so why would I want to pay $30 a month for MS cloud office 365?

Anyway can we change this subject now its hurting my brain. I wanna brag for a second. I bought a awesome new Helicopter for one of my animation off another site today which I can not list here because of the Redo Tos. But it is one of Daz venders that have their private own site for slling content, they sent me a link last night after reading my post on my blog site at WordPress & how upset I am & lets say it made me pleased that someone felt I was important and that my money mattered. Plus I can use it Studio4.,8 which when tested worked great and it came as C2r with the wavefront .Obj included ina 7zip which makes it usable in other software . That made me feel good and gave me some faith back. and I will continue to patronize him now. I respect your opinions Razor even if I may not agree with them.

Have a nice day
