Again, sorry if I put any noses out of joint, that was so far from my intention that it's not funny. First, I want to apologize to anyone who uploaded items (especially drawbridgep)- the models are good and I don't want to discourage anyone from making models of their favorite TV shows or movies. And it wasn't my intention to "inform" against anyone, but I had to use this as an example of "why is his allowed when mine was deleted". I'm sorry if it's a tough job to track down every item for possible copyright infringement, but I really think that it needs to be done. Otherwise, two things will happen: 1) People will see new items uploaded and wonder why the copyright policy isn't being enforced. 2) People (like me) will complain every time we see a new Thunderbirds models and wonder why the policy is being selectively-enforced... again, "mine was deleted, why is this allowed"? And the idea that the Free Stuff mod not knowing about Thunderbirds is a poor excuse- karen1573 knew enough to delete my Thunderbirds items. Or was the other item checked by a different Free Stuff mod since it was in Bryce format? Does that mean that the Copyright Policy is applied differently in each Free Stuff Section? Could I convert my Thunderbirds models to Vue and then upload them? This also opens up the site to another issue: people uploading obscure things just to see if they can. I wonder if the Free Stuff mods have heard about "Star Blazers"? Maybe I can upload an Argo model and they won't delete it because they can't find the copyright holder. --John
