Hi PhilC.  It looks like you're one of the few who understand the gravity of the situation.  I have an acquaintance who had a experience similar to yours with his sales dropping to zero after his first item hit the sharing sites.  He pulled his product, when into the torrent and sharing sites to give the immature and uneducated punks a taste of his mind (and was quickly banned from them) and finally vowed to never try selling his stuff again.  The Poserverse lost a talented and enthusiastic content artist.  This is why I'm keeping  my stuff on my harddrive.  I'd love to contribute but not with the pirates having a field day with stuff I've put so much time and passion into.

Morkonan, I like the way you think.  I've been making my presence known in some of the torrent sites and love to play 'you're a pompous ass and self aggrandizing narcissist' with that scumbag phougdzu, who runs a bunch of sites. I get banned then quickly join again under a new nym.  I've been through so many Gmail and Yahoo accounts I've lost track.
