bijouchat, I feel bad for any artist being ripped off. That is beside the point that SteffyZZ intended to shift the status of victim to the buyer. You advocate supporting the vendor's property rights, but what about the property rights of the buyer? The money paid for the pirated good is property. I have been theoretical, as far as I know nothing in my purchases has been a pirated good. I take offense that SteffyZZ ATTACKED the buyers without going thru proper channels. She attempted to dictate to innocent members what they can do with their own property. I have nothing but her words, no proof, no court decrees. What if she is mistaken? I do not know if her accusations are true. I am simply creating my own policy towards buying stuff here. Any vendor placing the blame and loss on the buyers is no longer an alternative in my choices. I may miss out on some good product, but there are many others. I am an artist, I sell my Poser output, and I do not condone piracy of any sort.
