So I have a question, that may or may not be answered... but I'm curious now. The people I work with are well aware of what I do with Poser, they've seen my artwork, and most of them like it. A few of them have asked me if I would give them a copy of it, and I said that I couldn't, but that it wasn't that as expensive as some of the other 3D applications... Now according to some of what I've read, I could take advantage of this 'amnesty' program and use my serial number to buy more copies at a reduced price... which would be the legal/moral way to do it... but what's to stop someone who wanted Poser but couldn't afford it at the time from finding an illegal copy of it online now and taking advantage of this program? Seems to me that in a way this is almost incouraging warez activity... in a weird round about way... it would make more sense to me if CL, as some people have suggested, had just put Poser 4 on sale instead... shrug Now I'm not complaining mind you, I actually paid for my copy of Poser, back when it was still Metacreations even, and I don't feel ripped off so much by this, because, as someone else pointed out too, if someone has an illegal copy of it, then they weren't going to buy it anyway... and I don't think that most of the people with illegal copies are going to pay the cost now to get a legal version... if they were going to pay for it to begin with, they would have by now, but I could be wrong. The whole thing is interesting to say the least...
