I agree with Keith, the guy's already got what he want's from Propsguild, closing the site down only punishes everyone else and not the person who needs punishing. I seem to remember this happened the last time someone posted some models that weren't theirs. I am sorry, but if you post things on the internet eventually, someone, somewhere will abuse them, it's the risk you take. I write shareware software, and I dare say a lot of users either hack it or get hold of a pirate copy, but I accept that for what it is, part of the net. It's not right and it's not fair, but that is the way it is. I don't go withdrawing my applications from the majority because the minority get up my nose, nor do I stop supporting existing customers, because of the dishonesty of the few. Secondly, this email thing is a bad approach, firstly, he will probably just filter it all out anyway, secondly, does anyone have an email account that can hold that much mail. I think there might be a lot of members in this community getting a lot of automatically returned mail because he doesn't have the space for it to be delivered. Talk about a back fire. Despite this though, in essence I agree that the guy needs to be punished but do it properly, seek legal action, let Zygote get him, just don't go stooping to his level. He's the one being petty here (a petty theif that is), but don't let him make you the same way too. Dave - being thankful that while people pirate my stuff too, at least I don't know who they are. It's when you find out that things get dirty.
