Great point mellkla, but they are making their site look great and making money from it based on our hard work and without our permission.... Renderosity has our permission to look great. lol
I suggested to Renderosity that they should complain, since they are the source of the infrigement... feeling that it would be good to stop the rot in future. I received a very prompt response , which I will print here:
"While we would like to be able to stop image theft, our
hands are a bit tied. The only thing we can do is to get
thieves off of Renderosity. We cannot do anything about the
actual copyrights of others work, that is on another site.
What you will need to do, as the copyright holder, is send a
cease and desist letter to the site that is hosting your
images illegally, and demand your images be removed.
If they do not do this, then you may need to think of
retaining a lawyer, and taking it to copyright court. Most
***times, the C&D is enough".
***Mmmm... did I mention the ebot in German?
