Hi, I too have noticed all the stuff from daz and here and everywhere that has been illegally posted on many other warez sites.  But people from daz and renderosity don't lock their stuff.  I find the renderosity and daz sites non-confusing and easy to browse and get content.

Renderosity is the first website I check every day, and then daz and I have spent many hundreds of dollars on content here.

These are my two most favourite websites. 

I look at cornucopia mostly only when I really need something ie I don't routinely browse.

I am sure there will be metadata one day or some other way of branding stuff to make it harder for pirates.

I think it's probably counterproductive for vendors to make things difficult for the honest customers who do pay for the stuff they use and who have a lot of tools in their 3D arsenal.  (probably most of us use more than one 3D tool to get the job done).  I have vue Xstream, C4D, poser, photoshop, carrara, and DS.  I like to transfer my scenes between these but I have a feeling maybe locked items might not work for this.  (not sure but I strongly suspect it).

The people who download stuff illegally probably wouldn't buy the items even if that was the only way they could get them.  they would probably pirate it or do without it.

Cold road has some objects in it that don't show up when I render I seem to recall.

Love esther
