I said pretty much the same thing ssgbryan says up above. DAZ will ride this to the end. To me, it looks like they are hurting bad. The only reason they would add encryption is if they're looking for additional sources of revenue. Otherwise, there is no reason to do this. Anyhow, my post at DAZ forums got deleted right away for saying this. Some have said that DAZ will drop DRM if there is no cost-benifit. Incorrect. Other companies have used DRM and they've gone under. In fact, the more they lost revenue, the more they strengthened DRM. And as another user said, DAZ never has a plan B. They will stick to DRM to the end.

Speculation without foundation, however firmly stated, is not fact.
