With the exception of the one guy at TurboSquid I sure would like to know where all these "mesh thieves"  are selling all these stolen meshes at.  Since for me I'm only aware of a couple stores where the traffic is high enough to make any money at all off of something.

In all the rush to praise the generosity of freebie providers and immediately silence anyone who offers  up any critique on the process we seem to forget what the freebie provider does get - name recognition - which = up to $$ in the marketplace so I hear. 

I think then that it is reasonable that the consumer ask for changes if those changes are warranted.  Which in this situation that has caused many to stop utilizing the freebies at all I think that they are warranted. 
I apologize for my audacity Ill get my shrine back up in short order :p
