Ok, most of the threads on this are getting long. I have a couple comments/questions on this. 1>> Exactly how many computer changes would CL consider "reasonable" Some people change computers every year. This doesn't mean that I can afford to update Poser.... It costs a pretty penny to own Poser now, a price that apparantly is caused due to pirating. So now buyers will be forced to pay the high cost and then have to worry about installing new hardware and how often they change systems? Or does this new protection mean that you will be able to lower the price? If the high cost is mainly due to piracy and your new system will prevent that, then logically the price of the software should drop. 2>> It has been commented in the news several months back (by a few companies who were willing to actually admit this) that the pirated software did them no serious damage. Those using illegal copies would not have bought the software anyhow. They couldn't afford it. So since this protection will be cracked (probably in less than a month after it's release) and will be just as easily available on the same warez sites that currently offer poser, how will this new system benefit the user or CL?? I honestly don't see a benefit here for CL or for the user (and I'm honestly trying to). I can see angry and frustrated clients and a drop in sales. People simply don't like having things in their system they have no control over. Wares maggots will still break the codes, the software will still be readily available. You say that you will recognize the registration of the warez software. Well, after I legally buy my software I don't really want to think that you are keeping a record of me (feels like being finger printed and accused of something I didn't do). Not to mention that a hacker may hack it without needing to register it, so that won't work either. So the price will stay high for legal users, they will have additional problems/worries with it and warez versions will still be available, where's the difference?
