I first found out about Morpheus because Renderosity was advertising its twin program, Grokster. After finding out what they were, I posted a complaint in the C&D forum. The Grokster ad has since disappeared. Anyway, that Poser 5 file could be anything. What was the file size? That's a good way to tell if it's really a full blown program. I've also seen the Pro Pack called Poser 5 before. Not everyone who uses Morpheus or a like program is a thief, there are legitimate uses. Also (I've said this before), software companies are inviting piracy when they don't print a hard manual. Zbrush is a good example. Why spend $270 when you can download the program, manual and tuts for nothing? Poser 4 has a great manual and that's good. But they also put the whole thing in a pdf file on the CD! So the pirates have the same exact text & pics that a legitimate customer has.
