maybe so, but when fonts cost money, you can't give them away. It's illegal. Its property owned by some other entity. That'd be like loaning everyone on rosity Studio Max. In regards to printshops, a blind eye is usually turned because the print shops are providing the service for the client. Now, if that print shop were to keep the font the client gave them in order to print their work, and use it for something of their own, that'd be breaking major laws... you don't have the rights to use the font. It's much like Stock Photography and Illustrations. If I buy a stock illustration, giving it to you would be well into the realm of illegality if you were to use it. Fonts wouldn't be sold if they could be given away without any legal repercussions, why do you think Adobe's Font Folio collection costs so much... hell, Linotype sells collections costing upwards of 4000$US. companies may be trading fonts. they may also be trading other things. It doesn't make it legit. Considering renderosity's policy on stolen artwork, pirated software, and copyright laws, this whole thing is mildly surprising.
