What if an individual (or company) incorporated a separate business in order to purchase PowerAnimator? The sole assets of the corporation could be PowerAnimator. By "hiring" the corporation, the individual (or company) would then have full use of PowerAnimator as a service of the separate corporation. To transfer the license one would only have to sell the corporation. Since incorporation gives a business a legal status independent of owner, the corporation (and in turn whatever individual or body owned it) would control that corporation's assets (PowerAnimator, in this case). Such a scheme might also allow a wider variety of financing schemes, but I'm less certain of that. Is there a flaw in this that I'm missing? I can't see any grounds for Alias to objec (well, at least not legal grounds <g>). Has anyone tried anything like this? Christopher Wilson 3d guy Pittard Sullivan wilson_c@earthlink.net
