One thing people should always know: Did they create the item in question. If they didn't, they have no reason to claim they did. There is absolutely no excuse. *** I am, however, pretty disillusioned with this whole "you stole my stuff" routine. Awhile ago there was this "new revolutionary character" featured on Turbosquid. The "copyright posse" had such a grand time with that one, bringing up all sorts of proof of theft, etc. In the end, some sort of secret agreement was reached, and that was supposed to be the end of the story. The key here was that many people who got involved figured they had the best interests of the companies or artists involved, yet they were told the details of the settlement/agreement were none of their business. This tells me two things: 1.) Don't take the law into your own hands. You're not a copyright expert. You're not a policeman or detective. You're not a lawyer. 2.) If you think a copyright violation has occurred, use the "official channels," and do it privately. Then be prepared to abide by the official decision.
