Hello,
In this post I will give some examples of models of CGT vendors, whose models are in several pages of illegal downloads, for example:
****** Model of Deckorator : With 2,980 views and published in CGT on 2017-06-11
https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/plant/pot-plant...
This model is available on at least 6 websites for free downloads with at least 26,740 views and 7,216 downloads.

****** Model of Renovaco : With 2,640 views and published in CGT on 2016-07-20
https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/plant/pot-plant...
This model is available on at least 4 sites of free downloads with at least 11,932 views and 3,471 downloads.

****** Model of Anchel : With 29,200 views and published in CGT on 2016-05-25
https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/plant/pot-plant...
This model is available on at least 5 sites of free downloads with at least 28,565 views and 3,098 downloads.

****** Model of Remuhin : With 426 views and published in CGT on 2017-03-21
https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/architectural/d...
Figure in, at least 4 pages of free downloads, with 5,417 views and 591 downloads.
I have the links that support this data, in case the affected ones need them.

In total these 4 models have been downloaded at least, (in many of the webs the downloads are not seen) 14,376 times. I do not know how many times they will have sold here, but I bet many less.
Unfortunately most of these websites are Chinese and you can not do much (although I think that Chinese law has changed or will change soon, on this issue). But what can be done is to stop publishing the models on the websites that filter them to these illegal websites. Many of these models then come back here, published by users who downloaded them from those websites and sell them cheaper than the original author (although there are millions of models to choose from on those websites).
I think there are many "artists" and "designers" who are incapable of creating or designing anything, and who have very little respect for intellectual property and copyright. For example,
Recently in another forum, I saw a post in which the author (of the post) spoke a lot about textures, lighting ... but the model only said that it was not his and that he had modified it a bit. I told him that the correct thing would be to name the AUTHOR of the model, because without the model, his work would not have been possible. And what he did was put a link to the pirate website where he had taken it, which is a website that claims to be the first to gut the Nintendo and PlayStation games. And it was for school work!

Thank you for answering. Unfortunately, as can be seen by the number of downloads and visits of these models, it is a serious problem that threatens this business and our future, in two distinct but related aspects: on the one hand drastically decreases the possible sales of these models, and therefore our income and on the other favors increasing the number of cheaters, who come here, to sell those models as if they were theirs, but at undervalued prices. All this distorts the market and is very harmful. In addition, it is not an isolated event, there are many more cases, especially of sellers with accounts in other markets, which I am convinced are the ones that resell the models, even packaged in collections. I believe that most infracctors obtain models as well and I also believe that the solution is obvious and it is in the hands of the sellers.
Luckily, after the exhaustive analysis that I have done in recent months, I know that CGT does not use these bad practices, it is the most respectful of sellers and hopefully it will soon increase detection and control measures to keep out cheaters.
Together we can achieve it.
