who knows, that may be CL in 3 years. I mean, Poser 5 has already been cracked, and I am sure a crack for the patch will be out soon, so what did all that copy protection accomplish, except to upset the paying customers. Someone else in the forum stated that a company should offer somthing intangible to paying customers, like good technical support and the like, to encourage people to do the right thing. I think that is smart.
