I've said this elsewhere, but I'll say it here, too. Everything I've read up to this point, maybe 5% of the responses have been "heck, yeah, sign me up", another 10-to15 % have been "I'll give it a shot", and the remaining 80% has been pretty evenly split between "meh" and "no f'ing way". And those 10-to-15 %ers are saying that they're cancelling after trying it out or will only do it for the sales and then immediately cancel afterwards. I'd also say that probably at least half of the people commenting have said that they're scaling back on their purchases or stopped buying entirely (like myself). What I'm not seeing is anyone saying that they're stepping up to replace the people who scaled back or stopped buying, so on the whole, this really seems like a loss -- and a big loss -- for DAZ and Tafi. They managed to hold out for about a year on their insane content encryption scheme, and even then, they never encrypted any of their big ticket items (so they wouldn't chase those sales away). Let's see how long they can hold out this time.

I am curious.. what do you mean with "content encryption scheme"? Doe you mean I type a search word and it does not show all the items, even if I exactley know how to write the item? .. because the site often did this to me... nearly everytime I try to search for a certain item :(
