This thread for the most part reads a lot like a conspiracy theory. I am not saying your concerns aren't real, but maybe it's best to stick to where we are at now, not where we may be heading to. There are a lot of "most likely" and "imagine ifs" here, starting a conversation like that could lead it almost anywhere.

For instance,

"Imagine if" DAZ 3D is run by toad people from the planet Ribbet and DIM is "possibly" a way to locate where the best place would be to land their "likely" approaching mother ship. Clearly Daz Install Manager may not have any indications just yet that it really is a precursor to a Global Toad Hole Location Program, but think about it, if they are possibly toad people from planet Ribbet what's to potentially stop them from possibly changing DIM into a Global Toad Hole Location Program in the future? Possibly without you even knowing or your consent, then how will you get your already paid for content? Everyone knows GTHLP programs are terrible at content installation and provide absolutely no future proofing for access to your content. They could even change their licensing terms to only allow usage of their content to create toad people desensitisation images, look at this content they have released. It appears that the evidence is there for those that know where to look.

If it turns out that way remember you heard it here first. ;)
