I cannot see how anyone would even have a clue if a free or fee product is stolen or not.... How am I as a downloader able to know that that hair, as an example, is stolen from Anton??? How do I know that Lady Luna has been doing this? I don't go out and download a free item, open the mesh and compare the triangles and polygons of everything against the original....there are thousands of for sale products and 10 times as many free items.... I can't even see how the admins here can do it.... That leaves the original product creator the task of continually searching all the sites to root out the evil ones...checking the textures, meshes and stuff for stolen items...yikes But I think it is up to the site owners to rectify the situation to everyone's satisfaction....fast...when this is found out..and proven.. stealing is stealing.... there should also be notices....possibly even on the free stuff or marketplace that lists items that are known to be stolen---so the innocent purchasers and downloaders can remove items from their hard drives. In addtion, if I buy an item here, or any marketplace, and it is found to be stolen, I should get a refund or credit.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
