Definitely something worth doing. Add ShareCG to your stuff as I have found several stolen items there as well.

Personally, pricing and quality are subjective however I think just about everything listed on your site is something that people will need to know.

Good Luck

Mestophales, thanks!
May I see your 'several stolen items' links? Are you sure they are 'stolen'? If so, I will eat its seller and the store alive in my blog :)

As for 'ShareCG' -- good idea; i still need to fugure out how to do this with this blog settings. But you are welcome to post comments to the blog

 

This was the link to a freebie space ship that I found the other day I notified www.3drt.com about the illegal distribution of their free download and the admins on ShareCG within a few hours they had removed it and suspended the account of the person who was claiming it was their work.

Almost every time I come across something it is usually a freebie item they are claiming is theirs, but the 3d community is small enough still, to spot peoples work. Amazing they keep trying. ShareCG has been really good about removing items and suspending accounts when I notify them of the issue.

I am along the thought path, if I like a model I see the odds are I will buy it regardless of price, for example Sanctum Art's GRIM - $70 dollar price tag which for a poser character seems steep but for the quality you get, it is nothing compared to the joy of time spent rendering with it.

Keep up the blog I like it.

Yeh, I know that. I became sick and tired trying to catch bad guys who sell my models under their names.
You spend weeks modeling cool stuff, submit it for sale to TS, and I guarantee it will soon be available for sale in whole bunch of small content sharing stores for "just 10 dollars".
Its time to kick their butts seriously. Now I am giving up modeling for sale and be monitoring CG content stores for stolen stuff.

Another issue is junk models. They are spreading all over the web; Tsquid, Modelbank became huge junkyards of overpriced crap. Good high quality models among the ocean of crapy stuff may not reach their customers. Thats why I am monitoring CG junk very seriously.
