Ok, don't ask me what made me look into this, but with everyone talking about warez and stuff, I wanted to check and see if it was more than just people sharing with their friends. So I went and opened up Morpheus (which I normally only use for music) and did a search on Poser, a TON of stuff came up, mostly from DAZ, then I noticed some renderosity files, so I took a closer look and searched for "Renderosity" and low and behold came back with 79 results, all different files. I wanted to see if they were real, or just virus stricken jokes, downloaded one, virus scanned it (it was one of Sharkey's Leather Fantasies by the way) No virus detected so I opened it (praying my virus scanner was up to date enough) And of course, what did I find...the real file. I don't know about you guys, but I find this disturbing. (Yes, of course I deleted the file, I really don't want to get sued, arrested, taken to court or beaten over the head for using something I didn't pay for) But I really find this disturbing. I always knew you could find a lot of stuff easily, but renderosity files, DAZ files that people are paying good money for being shared, given away. Is there no way to stop this? (I have been working on learning more about Poser and might someday create something useful that I might sell)
