If you guys would stop for a moment and re-read what Kawecki is saying, he raises a good point. The freebies are just links to something off-site, either a file or a download page. So Rsity checks on item at someone's site, approves the page link, and everything's fine. But then the owner of the page adds some new stuff that Rsity doesn't check because it never sees it because the page owner figures "Hey the link was approved; why bother?" Now, sure, it's 90+% likely that the owner of the page isn't going to be ripping anyone off (Heck, for all the freebies uploaded, how many are "derivatives"?), but the possibility still exists. But this is like the question I raised earlier: who has the intimate knowledge of the complete catalogue of Poser materials that will allow him to say whether or not something is completely original? God help the mod given this assignment, because the potential for overlooking something seems enormous.
