Before the general release a CL employee (not Kupa ... sorry, I can't remember the individual's screen name) went to great length to address these concerns and delineate CL's position. It was clear that they expected controversy and understood what the issues would be. Perhaps that employee could be kind enough to repost that exegesis here or at some website. Indeed we are all entitled to our opinions. By no means does a dissenting opinion or critique of tactics imply a desire to censor. I'd encourage anyone who agrees 100% with WiNC's position AND tactics to go ahead and sign his/her petition. I will decline because I find the means of conveyance to be presumptuous and insulting. Like WiNC, I dislike the new registration requirements, but they won't stop me from buying P5 as soon as I can afford to. I also hope that CL will re-think their tactics for reasons already stated very well by many others. I don't want to see this distrustful, invasive trend spread. However, I recognize CL's need to protect themselves from the realities of massive global piracy. In the case of Poser/CL, I'm willing to put up with something I disagree with as a sign of good faith in CL and because I want my toy, darn it. In the case of WindowsXP, no thank you. Those people can't be trusted.
