I still do not see how you can justify this. You say it is to protect your member's rights, fair enough, but please remember that without the masses of visitors you get, who you are now punishing, though admittedly that is not your intention, you would likely have no site, and thus no members. They would have to post their work elsewhere, where it would be just as much at risk as anywhere else on the net. Not having the finances to punish the culprit of the crime does not and should not give anyone the right to tkae it out on everyone else. I don't, why should you (see my post above)? We all know (unless we are ignorant or truly innocent) that many 3D apps are available on warez sites. How would your mebers feel if Metacreations (or whoever owns poser now) turned around and said that they were withdrawing support and removed all the poser related content from their site, stopped selling it, abandoned the fabled poser 5 etc, just because they caught someone using a pirated copy of poser 4. Would that still be classed as 'protecting copyrights' or would it seem a little more like a big company being melodramatic.
