I've had legitimate licenses for Poser versions 2, 3 and 4 as well as ProPack so I too have spent a few dollars on the program. Now possible thieves can get it for less than I paid. Will this make my copy run any poorer? No. If CL did not offer this amnesty would that put more money back in my pocket? No. Will I upgrade to the next version? Probably. Will I lose any sleep over this? Not a chance. The value of most things you buy goes down as soon as you've paid for it. As soon as you drive that brand new car off the lot it is used. Look at the price drops on computers and memory. The list goes on ad nauseum. Life is too short to get excited about trivial things like this. Get over it people. Maybe CL needs the cash influx, maybe it doesn't. But more cash certainly won't hurt and don't we all want Poser to continue to develop thus giving us new and exciting possibilities? Piracy is a fact of life. Maybe this amnesty will eliminate some small part of it or maybe it won't. But right or wrong, at least CL is trying to do something about it other than just whining away in a corner or firing lawsuits at anything that moves. There used to be a phrase some of you may have heard. It begins something like "It is better to forgive than..." Vengeful thoughts make victims of us all. Don't be a victim. - Jack Valero
