Machine claw- its way different than dealing with airport security. That is the possible problems of life and death, where as in the freestuff, at worse it's piracy. Most of the people arent complaining with the system itself, but with possible misuse. Remember when SteffyZZ was making claims against other artists for stealing her work, yet analysis showed it wasn't? Well, if it comes down to a free thing and a marketplace item (or even a DAZ one), who do you think the admins and mods are gonna back up? Phantast - actually its quite simple, and not bothersome to do it. I've seen it happen before in other communities. People will slap together a two second texture (ala paint bucket fill in PSD or PSP), then as soon as its up, they'll switch it out so they can be made to look good when they really don't have the skill. Many people out there do it, because they are wannabe's. Anyone who deals with game mod's knows about it, because its a big problem there. I'm on the developement team for a 3d racing game, and we allow outside people to submit models, but so far we've had more copied work than original and that's why we now inspect each model individually (to compare against thousands of other models, 3rd party or not) and host it ourselves. That is something I know renderosity doesn't want to do
