Fellow Poser users;
For the last time, I HIGHLY recommend that you educate yourselves about the folowing issues: the recent DMCA legislation, the current UTICA legislation, Microsoft's change of EULA terms that come with Win 2000 SP3 and Win XP SP1 (it's interesting that Poser 5 requires these OS's), and finally Win XP's digital content manager which updates itself whether you want it to or not(it can NOT be turned off).

After you have done this, the future of software usage (as well as audio CD's, MP3's, etc.) is clear (you're going to be screwed).

CL is a business. They can do whatever they want with their product.

As a consumer, I can do whatever I want too. I will not buy their product (nor Win XP). That is the single best way to let CL know they've made a mistake.
