As the OP, I wish to apologize for not clarifying my intention for a free version of Poser. My intention was not to have a free software version so that people could become vendors and make money. My intention is that a free version will be a benefit for vendors because it could potentially increase the number of new users to the 3d poser market. My belief is that the reason DS has a much larger market share is because it has a free version of it's software and that is a benefit to their 3rd party vendors. My hope is for that same advantage to become available for poser vendors as well. Again, sorry for the confusion. This all all been some very interesting discussion.
