In fact, every script that would try to "phone home" would be nuked and deleted.

And I would notice because my Poser machine isn't connected to the Interwebs at all.

This is both because of security reason (ransomware!) and also because of those phone home "features".

IF some content won't work without an internet connection - so phft! I'll give it a miss and delete it. Must I emphasise that I wouldn't EVER buy stuff from that particular vendor again, and he'll be blacklisted?

His stuff will be available in a matter of weeks on the pirate sites anyway, and then without the phone home "feature".
