If there were no difference then the commercial product would be out of business, wouldn't it?

Ignorance, piracy and the control of the education system (and possibly others) by de-facto standardization is what makes commercial products like Maya and 3DS Max more popular, not the lack of capabilities.

Note how piracy is within the list, for the more you promote piracy of a product, the more you promote its popularity. The more popular it is, the less of a reason to bring down prices. The more popular it is, the more online communities revolve around it, in effect prolonging its popularity. By redirecting users to alternative products, you create competition. If you want to see reasonable prices, you need competition. Pirating a commercial product does not create competition for the pirated content.

Touché. You raise excellent points that I had not considered and you are right. Just for curiosity sake could you name at least one of the free programs you are referring to? I have dabbled in 3DS Max before (didn't pirate originally actually) and am curious to see if they do indeed hold up or overcome it like you say.

EDIT: Unless Blender is the best. I've tried it and it mystified me somewhat, though that was like 6 or 7 years ago; I wonder what it's like now.
