You can't. Even the RIAA and MPAA with millions of dollars to spend on DRM schemes and bribing politicians to force ISPs to block download sites, can't stop it. If it's on the net it WILL be pirated. I feel that CGTraders is taking the best approach by keeping prices low so that the hobbyist will buy. I would only use TurboSquid (TS) items if I could get stolen copies as they are much too expensive for the casual user. I bought some great models here for a very reasonable price and will be buying more. I also like the idea that the artist keeps most of the money. I don't like giving money to some sleazy brokerage site like TS.

Personally I have copyrighted some of my models. this does not give any warranty against theft, but I must say that it impresses the thieves, when I send them the copyright certificate with the name of the lawyer designate to defend me. This allowed me several times to remove my stolen models from dubious sites.

Someone who sells models which are under Copyrights & Trademarks he doesn't own is telling others how to protect their models against thieves with copyrights. Thumbs up!

Scooby doo, Snoopy, Smurf and others are copyrighted/trademarked materials. Do you have rights to sell it and make profit from it?

This is why the editorial licenses exist ... tries to understand how the 3D industry works before telling anything on forums by hiding behind a fake acount. I do not steal MODELS to resell them ... Why would I do it, I can model what I want ..

So I can copy your original copyrighted models and sell them? Editorial licence does not allow you to sell Trademarks. It is good you have a copyright lawyer you will need him soon.

Mmmm .. It smells the little saler hiding behind his fake acount who despairs watching his sales fall every time I publish a new model that appears in his collection .. The problem is that there are so many like you and I can't know who you are .. note that I don't care
