ryamka: "I hate tp disagree with you, but there is no difference between this and warez."

Me: You must have misunderstood me...I did not condone what these people are doing by manipulating others copyrighted material and posting it. I did not mean to give the impression that I felt it was legal, or should be ignored...indeed not, theft is theft. What I was attempting to explain was that Renderosity should not be held responsible for this illegal activity of others since the activity itself is not blatent, but disguised. Having Renderosity screen Freestuff is burdensome...Even the DMCA, as you pointed out, does not require sites to take such extreme measures. It clearly only requires "service providers" to not interfere with the technical measures copyright holders use to identify or protect their works and to terminate the accounts of subscribers that are repeat offenders.

PheonixRising: If profesional means using IM and email and just ignoring the problem hoping other people will fix it, well that didn't work with any of the situations above."

Me: Nobodys says you should ignore the problem Anton...just that you should present yourself in an adult and mature fashion...that's part of what being professional means!
