@gate agree with wheatpenny it is within the guidelines. You have put forward a view that might not win too many fans on a website that houses vendors that work their butts off on their creations and their customers scrimping and saving to the buy content which is supporting them so you probably could expect the view to be challenged. Of course this will be done with intellect and rat cunning as they are pretty skillful at it without the need for personal attacks. It is the Daz forum and it is what it is. We try to keep it friendly.

As for your content not getting knocked off by the pirates in the context of your opinion I can't say I have ever seen that raised on a forum before. So it is difficult to draw on previous experience. If it was me and I can only speak for myself, If the product was 100% my content and I shared the same view as you I would upload a couple zips to hedge my bets. No one need ever know. That said there a a ton of safe places to upload your content and gain a reputation for your work. If you have a store and your free products carry the info in the readme and you gain a good following they will track you down to browse and possibly buy your paid items. tbh The day I have to turn to a bunch of thieves to evaluate my worth in anything I do will be the day I change that career.
