The data files (textures and geometry in Poser terms) have always been locked down - if you move them you break the scripts. The scripts themselves can be moved in most cases, and that is how I organize my content. What was always missing was shortcuts, ie pointers to the script files that could be read by the content library pane.

Frankly the downside to the system I use is any time a product is updated, I again need to figure out where I put the scripts, because If I don't I now have two versions of the same product in my library, one of which might not work correctly. I would have vastly preferred to leave the scripts alone and used pointers to them.

DAZ tries to get around that with the content manager database, but I have been using DAZ a long time, and frankly putting non-daz products in it is a pain, and in the early days DAZ managed to repeatedly break custom categories. From what I am hearing on their boards, they still are. They haven't managed to break my file organization yet.

Since they are allowing the use of shortcuts now, at least with their products, I will be happy to leave those scripts where ever the hell they plop them down because I am never going to look at that location.

And yes, I still think DAZ will drop encryption if it continually hurts sales. Just as the music business has. Where it doesn't hurt sales it stays in place.

I personally cannot see how encrypting 3D content can possibly help sales.
