When DAZ introduced DRM products a couple of years ago there was similar back and forth about it. What you have to realize though is very few people use forums, so comments here are not significant. What was significant at DAZ is they couldn't sell DRM products. And when they figured that out, they stopped trying. They never admitted they were wrong, nobody cared anyway, but they started out saying that any DRM product would have the DRM removed after one year, and at that point there was no new DRM product being offered.

Rendo wants to sell you Poser. 11.2 was a bridge product, leaving all the other changes all they were trying to do is move from Smith Micros servers to theirs. There is going to be a next major Poser release. If it still phones home I think you can figure out the answer.
