I have owned a copy of Poser4 for about a year now, within the last 3 months though, my cd has broke. After a terrbile incident with the 4.3 patch, i needed to reinstall, and couldn't. As a result, i borrowed my friends version... he was no longer using it, so he even uninstalled it from his computer. He's very law conscious, and ddn't want to risk breaking the law by having two versions installed. Over the time whilst i've has his copy of the program, i've made some art which he like and he decides he wants his program back. No problem. I uninstall it and give it him back. Now i'm without it. Last weekend, i went to a carboot sale.. or flee market.. whatever you choose to call it. On a stall there, was Poser4, said to be including purchased Victoria and Michael CD's. I really wanted it, so i payed the guy the money... came home, installed Poser.. Installed Mike and Vic... and found another CD in the pack. Eager to see what it was, i put it in the drive. File simply called PoserUpdate.Exe. I figured it was the pro pack update, and i ran it. Well, next thing i know.. i open poser, and its still not pro pack. However, i do now have a VERY extensive library of items that i shouldn't have. A lot of extra clothes, characters, props and so on. Some i'm sure can be found for sale here. Now, i installed it immediately.. and reinstalled with just poser and the Vic and Mike characters. Here's my question... since i payed for the CD that came with it, should i do what my heart tells me, and play wth all my new items and create some great things for myself? OR; do what my mind tells me, and trash the extras CD? I REALLY want to use these items, but would feel tremendously guilty as i never purchased them from the proper people. SO i know trashing them is really the right thing to do... but damn, i want to play with the toys! What would you guys do? Give in, and plays with them... OR bin them? Thanks for you answers. TED.
