When it all comes down to it, it is my own responsibility to maintain security of my own computer. I have never been hacked on any of my machines, it only happened once on my Yahoo account. I have my main machine online all the time and I have the proper precautions when I am online. I don't mind the phone home feature or subscription model software because they are market reactions to how needs evolve and trends arise. In the 21st century there are already huge changes to how we interpret digital rights and how software is distributed and I expect more to come. Renderosity owned Poser only since September of this year. I am willing to give them a bit more time to sort this out. Hopefully they conduct market research and look at more consumer opinions than just what forum users say here. We are a tiny minority.
