What is difficult for me to understand is: it would be so easy to read into Merchant's forum anyway. It is enough for someone to open a new Renderosity account with the name of the sister, or wife, or mother, or friend, then put in there just anything as a product (even better if it's bad so it sells little) and voil full access to merchant's forum, and legal too (no need for morphing). It's like building a wall 20 meters tall, that anyone can pass by just turning around the corner. If a competitor doesn't care, it won't do it, but if it is really motivated to steal secrets, it'll do that, in 5 minutes and with no hassles at all. This doesn't change my overall opinion, that Renderosity has full right of protecting itself from competition if they think they need it. Every business protect itself for what's possibile so why Renderosity shoulnd't. They have the right to. Only my opinion is that I don't think it's going to be an efficient defense at all.
