God damn it these type of emails piss me off as well. Who the hell are these people? What gives them the right to send these emails? More importantly, what gives them the right to represent the community? What this/these moron(s) don't understand is that the freebies don't hurt the Marketplace sales but actually help them. When you first start playing with Poser you download as much free stuff as you can. But as you get better at using the program - you get more and more selective with what you download. From the free stuff you are naturally drawn to the Marketplace where you begin to purchase stuff selectively that you use to help realise your much expanding imagination and skill level. As for earning a living from solely selling Poser items - yeah right. Some of the best creators/vendors that I've spoken to only do this as a hobby to support their hobby. These emails sound like selfish, self important, self deluding bullshit to me. I'm just sorry that there are some really talented people out there coming under attack by what are probably no-talent hacks. People like Questor are paying the price.
