" Make Free Stuff more like the Marketplace. Treat every free stuff item as a zero cost sale. This would let R'osity and the free stuff distributor keep a record of who downloaded what and when. In the even of a Warez problem, a message could be sent to all the downloaders informing them, and it would keep a record of of losses for some one like Anton to use against the Pirate. It would also open up the opertunity to some welcome Free Stuff improvments. Like adding preview renders and a REAL product description. Something more than just a thumbnail. You could still require the user to link to their own server space for both the file, and the previews while only increasing the overhead of server space used at Rosity by a small amount. " actually, make it so free stuff is ONLY available through the Marketplace, as a zero cost item. with marketplace testing done on all of it. that would end the warez issues right quick. would also mean that there would not be a poorly documented or described item in the free stuff, it will be set up properly.
