Well this topic sure has gotten responses. Again we feel simply that we make the models, we sell them to the user, you want to put it in a game or on a picture or whatever, you buy it, it belongs to you to do with what you will. This is not to degrade anyone in anyway but lets put this in perspective, we are talking about 3D Models, data, and lets break it down to lines. Not that it doesn't surely take work, effort and skills, but this isn't rocket science where we have come up with some special secret designs that can't be stolen. I agree with pdblake, if you don't want people to use your models, you should think twice about selling it to the public. It is true though that it is possible that the sale of an item will go down because someone has stolen it, but most times we find the loss of a model, because it was shared or taken from someone else, is minimal. On our web site we try to make the best possible pictures of our models for those who can't afford to buy them to be able to at least grap the pictures to use. That is why we don't put watermarks on our pictures of our models. We love to see what others can do with our models. You buy them from us, feel free to use them anywhere. But again this is our feelings about this long subject. Mike and Sharen SAM'S3d
