Quote - Yes. They told me that they had deleted the threads, and theatened to sue me again if I posted any remarks there again.  

I guess my days of posting free meshes are over.   Every other time I release one someone does something like this.  It's gotten old....

Well.... That kind of goes with the territory of posting free meshes. (also a business thing)
You did hear that old saying that "No good deed goes unpunished?...."

When I give away my work, I figure there will be people trying to take advantage of it... And there will be people whom are delighted with it, and there will be people who could care less one way or another. So, I take the good with the bad, I expect that there will be some degree of mishandling it.

It's sort of like lending money to friends, I never lend more then what I would be willing to give away or lose. For example, if I lent somene 100 bucks, and it would tick me off if they never paid it back, I don't lend it...

In a perfect world, yes, it shouldn't happen that way, and you should get an apology and restitution... But the world is very very veeery far from perfect.

Back to business thing, did you know that "Cost of loss prevention" (due to theft and bad business practices) is built into the price of all goods that we purchase? Food, clothes, furniture...
It comes down to feasibility.... Is it cheaper to just take the loss, or is it cheaper to pursue recovering the damages. Material ones. Emotional damages are unrecoverable, monetarily or by apologies or really any other ways... Even if you get money and apologies... They're not all they're cracked up to be. (BTDT)
