Well, I'll come to Daz and get your freebies :)

What gets me is that Renderosity doesn't even host the file or the thumbnails for the free stuff.  What's stopping someone from editing the file after the fact and reuploading it under the same file name on their web site?

You're right. I think this is just a ruse to squash the free stuff provider because they aren't generating any revenue for company.  However, they fail to see that the reason many are members here is because of the kind generous community that exists here.  That is slowly being eroded. Always one less reason to come here...soon there won't be any reason for some people :(

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
