Hello... I am probably going to get nuked for this, but in the classic words of Nero as he watched Rome burn.."Fuck it" I have to say this idea isn't going to work. Sure, you might get a couple of warez people who wrestle with the whole good vs bad conscious debates... but you aren't going to get the heavy warez users with this plan. Why trade it in and part with 129 bucks for a program they use for free? Why would they risk admitting guilt, to have a clear concious?? I really don't think they care what people think... they are takers and nothing more... expecting them to suddenly get "religion" and fork over money so the software company can sleep at night is a bit nieve. Now for the BIG blow here Meta Mannix I certainly hope that you are not who I think you are, for if you are, then I am really going to piss off someone that I thought was a friend or at the least a good acquaintance Yeah well all run to the next release maybe. Some of us may not though, I suspect. Some are going to remember what happened here and what was said. Some may just decide to save a few bucks and go the warez route because CLs plan just encouraged the ones that the Community helped to sway into buying the program and be legal, to hold out for a few months longer and get it cheaper As for saying this Community is self serving, demanding, and our loyalty to a product is based upon if it delivers what WE want God damn right we are!! Welcome to REALITY!! We BOUGHT the program with the expectations of it meeting and serving OUR needs. If you dont think that Curious Labs isnt just as SELF SERVING when it comes to Poser then you need a smack in the head. Lets be REALISTIC here, the main and perhaps ONLY reason they really give a crap about us is to get US to BUY their program and keep them from having to work at a Burger King as Bun Warmers. We are CONSUMERS our DESIRES have to be met if they ARE NOT then the product fails and welcome to FAST FOOD!! This is an equal partnership here. We use the program, help spread the word about it, encourage the viability of that product and in return, Curious Labs tries to meet our expections in their updates and releases. HOWEVER, if they ever treat us like idiots, give us crap product, call us names and we will just get our products elsewhere thats reality, thats business and thats life. Get over it!! Jack
