I'm not asking for "silence", at least in the manner that you think, or for things to be swept under the rug. If that's what people think I'm doing, then there has been some miscommunication and a failure on my part to get my message across. What I'm saying is threads such as the ones I've pointed out shouldn't be allowed to happen in the first place. Does that mean that fellow merchants or buyers don't have a right to know that the items they have may be in violation of copyright? No. But there are better ways to handle situations such as this. In my opinion Renderosity drops the ball big time in this area. It shouldn't be a merchant or a buyer posting their story on the forums resulting in such threads as I pointed out. Renderosity should be making an official announcement either via the front page or in the newsletter saying something along the lines of: "Effective immediately, so and so will no longer have a store at Renderosity. If you have purchased items from this merchant, please contact us via email at
