I don't think the majority of Poser users have a problem with registration, just a really vocal minority. It's really not a difficult process, and anyone reading this discussion can do it. I think I read that you can fax the code if you have to, and almost every town has a Staples or Office Depot, etc, where you can fax. Kupa wrote a great piece a while back on how Pro Pack was released, and within hours turned up on the net for download. They went without the copy protection and got burned for it. I've seen a few top notch content providers on Renderosity and Daz quit offering items because they were being passed around like cigarettes in prison. I'm sure a crack will turn up somewhere, but at least it's something that people will have to search for, and deal with the possibility of getting virus from a downloaded "crack", so it does serve as a deterent. Burning a CD and jotting down a serial number are just too easy. If you are a legit user, you can re-install it as many times as you need to. Past a normal point, it may be a little inconvienent, but it's not the living hell some people are making it out to be. My Poser runtime folder is almost 6 gigs, so I want to do as few installs as possible. If you have a hard drive that needs to be re-done that often, then Poser should be the least of your worries. You should at least be happy that the folks from CL are listening to you and interacting. You think Microsoft would give you this kind of attention? Schemes for the protection of digital copyright are still in the infancy stage, and will continue to evlove, but it's not going to go away...
