For those of you who haven't read about the problems with the EULA, thinking that it doesn't affect you because you aren't a merchant, THIS is exactly why it does affect you. There are a lot of merchants beyond just DAZ and DSI that are not going to be making Poser 5 product until/if our concerns about the EULA are alleviated. Are we happy about this? Hell, no. It cuts into our ability to make money as much as it cuts into your ability to get P5 product. You probably haven't read much about those concerns here. Renderosity has taken the stance that its merchants have nothing to worry about and has downplayed any concerns. Perhaps Renderosity feels that because they are part of Content Paradise, their merchants are protected against the ambiguities in the EULA. As a merchant, I wouldn't take their word for it. What if you aren't exclusive here? What if you are, but decide to sell elsewhere down the road? What if Renderosity decides not to be involved with Content Paradise anymore? Beyond that, the concerns expressed by more than a few merchants regarding this EULA go beyond Content Paradise. If you want to see the most discussion about this issue (both sides), the best place to see it is here: http://poserpros.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3922 Warning. This thread is 60 pages long, but there are many, many valid points brought up here. And more than just merchants should be aware of what the P5 EULA implies.
