I have sent a personal e-mail to them asking them to please contact Nerd and Yamoto and both of their e-mails and expressed some concerns that both of them had. See, this is where I am a little concerned. If I create an image, say using an .OBJ by say PhilC (sorry Phil you were the first to come to mind :o) ) I would personally ask him if I could use the .obj prior to the sale of the image using that. Sometimes it gets a little difficult to do if you have 5 gigs worth of stuff and 40 people to contact for one image. I am not justifying it, just pointing out both views (what I would do and most likely why some the people weren't contacted). Rather than starting a huge agenda and massive flame war, I give them the benefit of the doubt till I hear back from them. If I don't..well... Fact of the matter is this, this is in a way an upsetting thing, but unlike the Trimax incident, they are only pushing images using people's products rather than the products themselves and until we hear from the owners of the products that were used in the images it would seem a little rash to fill their e-mail box with flames without any knowledge if others were contacted or not.
