"There are already similar pose books in the market place for artists" Wel no - those books are usually tutorial guides, or are books full of original art. What Posin are doing isn't original art - it is stock poses rendered on many different angles so that artist can use them in pictures, or as reference material. Buying one of the art books, or Tutorial Guides, doesn't go in direct competition against Curious Labs - I personally think Posin's offering is direct competition - because if you buy their stock poses, you remove the need for poser (if you are interested in just stock poses that is :P) But again - Kupa has already said their hands are pretty much tied on this - so I'm not going to push. But you know me - I'm passionite :P
