I am confused about something in this great debate. How can both these arguments be simultaneously true - 1. Software protection schemes for Poser will always be cracked and may have already been cracked. 2. We need to be protected from the software protection scheme in the event that CL closes. I am a complete legal software purist and have no illegal software on any of my computers. However, IF CL goes bankrupt and IF Poser 5 is the best software available for my needs and IF I upgrade my computer and can't register it THEN I would consider using a cracked version. In the meantime, I will quite happily use my legal copy.
