Turbosquid Copyright Policy

This could be considered off topic but I thought Id shine some light on to this problem over at Turbosquid. Now most of you are modelers who model for your own use in renders, but a few of you are game modelers so this could pertain to you. But please be aware of thief’s who can take models you have uploaded for free and sell them on Turbosquid.

The case I'm talking about involves game cars. The community of NFSCars has experienced a very bad thief who downloaded freely available models and is now selling them for 50 to 80 dollars a piece. I warn you about using Turbosquid because there policy is very warped. I have many friends in the NFS community and the ones who sent emails to Turbosquid have yet to be acknowledged or get a reply. The thief continues to sell the cars. There are many cars that even belong to Electronic Arts from various NFS games.

Now Turbosquid only works if you can sell something, but the fact remains that theft has occurred and Turbosquid has yet to do anything.

This is what can happen when thieves take free 3d files and upload them as there own 3D Search
