This petition is NOT a request for a Hardware Dongle - please read my second post. This Petition is against their present activation security system - and a request for Curious Labs to start dialogue with the poser community to find out which type of security system we are more willing to adopt. We do NOT want a intrusive security system imposed on us, like the present one has been. As we can see already there are a number of people against the Hardware Dongle, which could be as problematic as the Activation System in its present form. However, my personal main concern is the usability of Poser 5 after bankruptcy. With the present EULA and Activation System IF Curious Labs folds (which has been the history with companies and Poser) End-Users of Poser 5 have no guarantee that they will be able to continue using their product. Including all the other issues that have been raised, I can not see how anyone can believe the present security system as it stands benefits themselves or the community? While I will not be buying Poser 5 because of these and other reasons, many of us voicing our opinion here are not doing so for just ourselves, we are doing so for the community and those in the community who have no voices on the internet (those who dont have internet, or access to it). So please before you flame, disagree with this Petition, remember you are not the only person in the universe, and remember that this Internet Community are NOT the only people who use Poser. WiNC
