It wouldn't help. Besides, everyone who uploads freebies is aware, or should be after reading the upload guidelines before hitting the send button, that intellectual properties that are not their own are forbidden.

Don't tell me that someone uploading "Star Trek Spaceship NCC1701" or whatever they call it, doesn't know that it is based on someone else's intellectual property or that using the Star Trek name isn't an infringement.

Also, I seriously doubt that JH is upset that there are great fan models being offered here. It's the fact that it's not being properly moderated across the board in all the various freebies areas. Whenever he has offered stuff in the past and had it pulled, it's kinda a slap in the face to him as a freebie provider when they go allowing someone else to do it

I gotta say though, not everyone in the world is aware of everything that's popular and I doubt that anyone can say that they do. Giving mod's grief for not knowing that something is trademarked or copyrighted is uncalled for. Simply point the items out and let them fix it. Sheesh!

Has anyone ever watched latenight with Letterman, or Conan or whatever show it is that they ask people on the street questions about things that should be common knowledge, like who's the current president and seen how many people are out there who don't have a clue? Give it a rest.

People focus on the issues and events that they consider relevant to themselves in life. You can't expect everyone to know everything!
