I am so glad no one here thought to actually check Curious Labs website before bashing them so fully, and feeling so hurt and offended. The price sheet at Curious Labs shows two price options for Poser 4. Full version for $219 U.S. and an upgrade price for $99 .U.S. copied from the Curious Labs website. ((If you have a questionable Poser serial number of any origin or a copy of Poser that was part of a special promotion (such as a magazine cover CD), you may purchase a fully legal upgrade to Poser 4 here.)) The amnesty price being offered is $129 U.S. for the UPGRADE package, not the FULL VERSION. If a person had come by a legitimate Poser2 or Poser3, they could merrily and legally upgrade for $30 cheaper than the amnesty. All this does, is allow all those magazine versions of Poser3 to upgrade, like MetaCreations originally intended them to do when they released them. Yes in this plan some people will be allowed to upgrade a warez copy of Poser4 to a legitimate Poser4 for cheaper than buying a full version, but they are still only purchasing the $99 upgrade package. For those of you complaining bitterly that you overpaid for the FULL VERSION, have nothing to really complain about, anyone wishing to purchase a legal FULL VERSION still will be paying the same price that you paid. Anyone in the enviable position of legally buying and using the upgrade, will be getting it 30 bucks cheaper, than those with dodgy serial numbers, so where does crime pay here? This still looks to me like a sound business decision, there are thousands of magazine copy Poser 3's out there, that can now be upgraded, and some former warez kitties, may choose to come in out of the cold, and become legitimate users, and buying other products, like the Pro-Pack, or a legal Poser 5, or the avatar lab. This can help Curious Labs, and their revenue stream significantly, which only helps us the end user, with better, and cheaper programs in the future.
