It's a good idea, but obviously approximately 50% of all models used by a lot of Poser artists are pirated, according to a knowledgable DAZ source. So its not surprising that since people like posting huge hi-rez files in the gallery that the thief mentality people think that stealing artwork is also "cool, hip, doin' it for the collective masses, etc." Stealing is Stealing, but somehow unless someone is personally affected, and finally feels like a rape victim, they then know how many model creators feel when they see their stolen models used without any payment, or even credit. Any organization to police stolen models and stolen art would be a great thing. But, oops, I said "police", and that's not a COOL THING, so we are back to everyone cowering and afraid to taken action. But when it gets bad enough, people eventually have to take action, or everything will be taken from them by thieves.
