@Movida First under Western tort law, class action lawsuits are to provide compensation to a legally defined "class" of otherwise disparate groups of victims who can ALL prove they have been materially harmed by the direct actions or even legally negligent inactions of the allged defendant/s

Have fun proving( in a real court of law ) that you ,and those like you ,are being materially harmed by your inability to afford or your emotional, philosophical opposition the monthly cost of Autodesk Maya or Adobe photoshop.

And I have observed that the only people banging on on about the Closed nature of the Daz HD morphs are the people who lack the skills to become a Daz PA (and gain access),

Or people who do not even use the Daz Studio software but somehow believe Access to its proprietary features are some sort of fundamental "civil right".

You say the internet acesss "should be a public utility".

I share that opinion and fully expect it soon will be as matter of government efficiency.

The U.S. Government already pays for a free Android Smart phone with 3 GIGs of monthly data to anyone who qualifies for an EBT ( food stamp card) and it even has free app to check your card balance on the phone. And there are free pubic wi-fi towers all over New York city

PSE&G,here in New York, is a true public utility and the loss of electric power could literally threated human lives.

Yet PSE&G has the legal right deactivate my service if I dont pay my monthly subscription.

Shane is quite right. the masses have blythely accepted all manners of monthly subs for both life critical & disposable entertainment services: ,streaming video& music services, netflix etc, etc.

Where are the big class action lawsuits on behalf of the oppressed underclass who were denied watching HBO's Game of thrones", CBS's "Startrek Discovery" ,Disney's "the Mandalorian" or Amazons "The Expanse season4" ??
