Quote - I bet that in most cases those people have no real financial reason, just looking for "fame" among their peers and hoard stuff. For reference, see this thread on DAZ forums, starting from page 34, where you will read about people pirating FREEBIES!

Hmm.  Here's a question.  Every now and then, we've recovered a Poser freebie which has been orphaned, with its original creator and/or hosting site long disappeared.  There are several threads on this board where such a recovery has been made, publicly, using these internet archive sites.

So what's the story with those archive sites?  Are they pirating these items?  Where is the line to be drawn?  Or by "pirating" are we talking about freebies being redistributed for profit?  I may have misunderstood.  :unsure:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
