If you want to check for dead links, offsite porn links or verify that the file listed actually exists, I would think that there are automated ways to accomplish that a lot faster with very little human intervention. As for the copyright issue, it's obvious that no one is going to be able to detect altered versions of all the available models, textures etc. Given that fact, it seems clear that in practice, that infringements on items by DAZ and a few other popular creators will be the ones caught. The smaller, more obscure creators will continue to have to rely on the vigilance of the rest of us as always. Basically, it seems like a way of protecting DAZ. There's nothing wrong with that, though perhaps they should be doing the monitoring themselves.
