Its funny how the Poser 5 manual goes on and on trying to tie licensing agreement of the software to the ownership of a book. They claim that 3 people can't read a book at the sametime, that a single person can read it and thus a single user can use Poser 5. Yet I can give my book to anybody I want, I can also sell it to whomever I want. I can take to my basement and read it there or take to a foreign country and read it there. I can't do the same with Poser 5, I am not sure why CL would mock our intelligence. This is really frustrating, its my fault mostly, I should have read their FAQ on unlocking the software. I was happy with Poser 4's method, I assumed same would be applied here. I upgrade my computer almost every year, I guess 2 years from now, my copy of Poser 5 will be worth crap! I no longer see this as CL trying to protect their product. Its more like CL is trying to protect their product, screw the customer rights. If Curious Labs does go under, I doubt it will be because of pirates ripping off their software because the fact remains, there is no code that can't be broken. It will most likely be because pi$$ed off customers will start looking elsewhere, even if that elsewhere offered a somewhat inferior product. Thank you, Wind Walker
