"I imagine that any defense that CL chooses for Poser5 is driven by a true belief it is worth the effort to safeguard the investment. It may be required for the CEO's liability insurance (typically CEOs and even Board of Directors obtain insurance to cover a lawsuit alleging mismanagement for any company failure... which may mandate "industry standards" for product theft)." This is the most horrible thing I've read yet!! Insurance companies dictating copy protection. Legitimate honest users have no recourse whatsoever! How can they quantify product losses due to piracy? They can't. They just make up figures and prove them with actuarial tables that mean nothing!! Then they make money through premiums while we're stuck with this gawdawful protection scheme.
