Ookami, point well made. Besides, the cost they put into their so-called security is passed on to us in a more expensive product, which means fewer people can afford to buy it, hence, they lose money in the long run. They need to get past their paranoia. I'm offended by the lack of trust to us legit customers. If this is going to be a part of Poser 5, I'll live with version 4 indefinitely. Too bad DAZ couldn't develop a Poser-like program that does the same thing. Their characters are far more superior anyway. DAZ respects their customers. I've never had such wonderful customer service from anyone else. They have good old fashion business sense. Obviously Curious Labs doesn't. It'll be their loss. I think the world needs to start trusting instead of expending all their energies on witch hunts and get down to good business. They're slowly self-destructing with this attitude. They're going to be their own undoing. Melanie
