Lucie, you don't convinced me. I have a freebie, NATTY-V2. If one day I leave the Poser and 3D world, perhaps I'll forget to enter in my readme and update it with: 'you can NOW distribute my freebie all over the world'

Or: tomorrow I die. 999,999 persons have downloaded my freebie. NOBODY can contact me. YOU wants my freebie. No one could help you?

Copyright laws are for protect rights. And they are good and necessary, over all for avoid piracy in SELLERS. But when we are talking about FREEBIES and one artist abandons these rights, it's ridiculous for me to support them. Laws are laws and I follow them, but... IMHO, it's incredible that some of us have a lot of fantastic Rubio's freebies (Reika, the sarong, the sheet dress...) and we tied to free distribute them because laws written for fellows who never have seen a free 3D file or know what is a 3D community

The repository sounds as a nice idea, but I'm afraid impossible EDITED: Different for me if an artist retires a freebie to convert it in a soldable item. Or an item was free for a time and then it pass to the market (CP freebs, for example)
