Waiting a year will practically eliminate my impulse buying, witness the length of my wish list. Got some stuff sitting there now that first came out when V3 was a young wee lass.

Well, holy poot.

Ok, resuming my PC membership. ;)

Congratulations, Will. I "Will" be checking your DA page for new renders!

Oso3D · February 2016

Well, if they do it, I wouldn't mind picking up new stuff and just sitting on it for the whatever period until it 'unlocks.' If it's a really good deal and stuff I want.

I'm really happy they are running with it, because it solves a lot of problems for, at worst, an annoying delay in getting stuff:

People using Carrara, Bryce, Hexagon, Poser, Blender, or whatever else you have can still get the content and Daz doesn't have to add new functions or special plugins to apps they don't make.

It might make the whole 'sunsetting/poison pill' way easier if there's already a plan and system for unencrypting content. If it's automatic, then you just wait for stuff to unlock. If it isn't, Daz simply flips the switch a lot sooner on their way out.

If you refuse to categorize with Connect, like I said, buy the stuff you want when there's a good deal and sit on it until you don't have to use Connect with it.

As I said in beta discussion, one option would be to encrypt for a time frame. Like, say, 6 months. After which point, the product is available as un-encrypted.

Since, as PAs keep saying, most sales are within the first few weeks, this SHOULD be an optimal solution -- if DRM actually prevented any sales, then it would protect the product within the critical initial sale period. Then, anyone who absolutely refuses to deal with DRM can pick it up down the road, once it is available not encrypted.

This ALSO solves the poison pill issue, particularly if the de-encryption is somehow automatic.

I have an announcement to make:

It has taken a bit of time, researching of numbers, and technical development and testing, but we feel that the jist of the idea above is not only doable, but does indeed address a significant number of concerns of Daz, the interest of the PA's, and customers. As such, Timmins, I want to say "We hear you", and furthermore "We thank you" for your suggestion.

Effective immediately we are rolling out functionality that will cause Encrypted products to become un-encrypted 12 months after launch. This will be through a process that runs on our servers and replaces the encrypted content with a non-encrypted one. Anyone who buys or updates the product after that point will get the non-encrypted version. This means that even if you buy it during that first year, at the end of the time period you will be able to get it as an update without encryption if that is of concern to you.

This change is effective now. Any encrypted content that has or will release will automatically decrypt after 12 months after its launch date.

Again, we want to thank all of you for the creative ideas, and Timmins in particular, we will be adding $1,000 store credit to you account.

The folks at Daz

the first question that comes to mind is after the year is up will it sell as unencrypted to everyone or only for those that bought it during that first year?

Petercat · February 2016

Man, I am so happy about this.

Thanks, Steve and everyone else who had a role in this.

I'm happy, not just about the DRM bit, but because this is solid proof that you listen to your customers and care about what we want and think.

All the words spoken so far fade in the face of actions.

Well done. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go shopping.

Shadow: it says after the year is up it's sold nonencrypted and can be updated nonencrypted. So after the year is up, you can buy it without DRM

Yes they did Tim, but they didn't specify if that was only for those that purchased it or for everyone and that is what I am asking for clarification on.

Thank you Steve! (and the others involved in the decision-making process). This does sound like a very good compromise indeed and one I'm personally happy with. If I don't want to deal with Connect then I can simply wait out the year for the encryption to end then purchase the products then. It means I'll be a little behind the times with products, but thats a small price to pay.

One thing - it might be a good idea to announce this in a separate sticky thread, because I imagine lots of people will have stopped reading this one long ago.

Congrats to Will for coming up with a great solution.

Gr00vus · February 2016

So don't buy it until it's DRM free. That's my plan. An additional bonus to waiting could be that "old" stuff often ends up in various sales where you can get it at a deeper discount than when it was initially offered.

What they're saying is that a product will be encrypted when first released and then unencrypted 1 year from then. If you buy it when it first comes out then you have it encrypted for a year after which it can be updated to unencrypted. Or you can just wait for a year after it comes out before buying it and then purchase it unencrypted from the store at that point.

DanaTA said:

12 months later? Since most of the encrypted stuff will probably be outfits for male and/or female figures, that might be a wasted of money by the end of the 12 month period. DAZ3D seems to be replacing the current figures with new ones about that often, or at least it seems that way to me. Just my observation. Even three months would seem a better option. Most sales do seem to be within the first month of release, if not less. I seem to see renders with new stuff within a day or two of release most times.

Dana

I'm sure this was researched and thought about quite a bit at DAZ. So, we should be really happy they are agreeing to this and not be complaining about time frames

Great news, and thanks to Steve and the rest of the DAZ team. I would have preferred 6 months, but the DRM time span is up to DAZ to define, and once the technology is in place, I assume DAZ can review the length of that period at any time. Anyway I am much happier now.
