Hi PhilC.  It looks like you're one of the few who understand the gravity of the situation

PhilC is right on. A lot of people are pirating Poser content. In some cases, they are even reselling it as their own. If you visit the Meshbox blog, you'll see how our Toon Santa gets pirated by vendors selling through major brokerages. What's especially frustrating is how enabled it is - finding multiple uploads of our stuff (often bundled with GB's of DAZ stuff) on sites like Upload.com multiple times, then linked to through free blogs. Most network providers hide behind the DMCA and pull the content, but they do not unplug accounts or pull the blogs that are used entirely for piracy (many Ive found our stuff on, there are also links to cracks of Adobe products, etc).

There are a number of sites related to Poser / DS that have had our pirated stuff linked to, but our little community is small enough, and nice enough, that Ill often get informed the same day its posted, and the offender gets shouted off. But still, it will get downloaded.

Best regards,

chikako
