We have first "Curious Labs" then "e Frontier" then " Smith Micro" every change did not cause that an older version would be shut down, it would not of been legal. but now we have Smith Micro to Bondware and two versions get shut so how could this be justified " It could not ! "

... Because the Curious Labs and the e Frontier versions didn't have any phone home features... because back then pretty much NO software did. SMITH MICRO introduced this, likely because SM works with other types of software and THOSE work well with such functions so they just shoved that into Poser to try to stop piracy (which of course doesn't work).

I don't know why Bondware won't remove it, and not my scope here - let's not start donning tinfoil hats and coming up with conspiracy theories please. Curious Labs and e Frontier didn't do this because it wasn't a thing when Poser belonged to them, and it's not like Bondware decided to annoy every user via kill switch now that they'll have so much trouble making Poser widely relevant again. Complain about the phone home switch all you want but please stop going into convoluted ways to try to blame solely Bondware for it.
