A few weeks ago there was a protest when people who have blitherly ignored what has been there as long as I can remember got pissed that it was being enforced finally. It does not change the fact that the people who uploaded in the first place still did so in violaton of the TOS. There is no filter, sir; Not mechanical, nor human, never has been, on Renderosity, for filtering this sort of content. To imply that one did exist is foolish, absurd, and blind to the methodology by which this business functions. The only thing stopping people from doig so is themselves. That's it. Renderosity is under no onus to, in and of themselves, police the stuff. The onus is directly and specifically on the members themselves. It is specifically spelled out for you, as well. So no, sir, I am not wrong. You are. You are wrong for expecting renderosity to put in place a system that forces us to do upload only non infringing material. That is not their role. That is not their responsibility. It is ours. As individual members of this site. And it says so, in the TOS. The penalty for such could be anything, as well. part of our role as members here is, ultimately, to help them by spotting things they might miss. When they vett the freestuff, it is not incumbent on them that they be familiar with every format possible, nor that they go off and do a serach that the maker of the object should already have done before they uploaded it in the first place. They generally operate, indeed, under the assumption that we do follow the rules. And that may mean, indeed, that sometiems we need to step up and speak out about stuff that was missed -- such as the honorable Mr. Hoagland has done here, and has you have done before as well. What you are asking, note, is that they switch policies and methods of operation to one that essentially begins with the assumption that we do not follow the rules. Which would truly be a bad thing, insofar as I am concerned. That would take this place back a bit ago, where that was the modus operandi of some of the (now gone) staff here. And that was a most unpleasant place more often than not.
