Does anyone else get annoyed by this?

By "this" I mean, when vendors state they're against piracy, and overall act like law abiding people who thinks piracy is somehow worse than the most heinous crimes ever, but then will either do the following...

A. Sign up to a piracy site (like this one we're all on now), and download assets from here, despite preaching about how pirates should be more respectful towards the vendors who take time out of their day sculpting or modelling the assets.
B. Sell copyrighted characters they don't even have the rights to.

There are definitely more examples of hypocrisy, but I can't think of any rn lol (feel free to add some examples in your own replies if u want).

Annoyed? I think it's pathetic. There was a vendor here a couple of weeks ago bitching abut his tool being pirated. He obviously didn't realize that his history was available to everyone and when it was revealed that he'd been here for months both downloading and sharing items, he tried to say that it was ok for HIM to pirate stuff, but not for us to pirate his stuff.

Someone from here mentioned him by name in RenderHub's own forums where he then tried to say it wasn't him. I'm hoping it cost him a LOT of sales. I'm also pissed that RenderHub didn't ban him. Then again, RenderHub is pretty sleazy for all the pirated 3D assets it sells.

@supreme-leech I'm pretty sure I know who you're referring to! I offered 500 points for that tool in the request section. When someone tried to fill the request, the thread turned into a discussion about the tool's original creator being in the thread and mentioning those exact same things you said. And yeah, I agree with you, it is pathetic, especially to have a "rules for thee but not for me" mindset..

Wasn't it 'Laurendev'? I see he's got another tool in the request thread for reducing RAM usage. We should rub it in by putting all his tools in a single package and NOT letting him download them. Or...every time he downloads something it's that freebie smiling turd that was released years ago. I wonder how hard that would be to do?

[D. Samael]

I think it was Laurendev, yes @supreme-leech

[spammenot]

Well i'm not annoyed by it, i just think there is something very wrong with people like that and if they can't even see that ... there is even more wrong then we can hope for lolz 😛

To bad alot and i mean alot of people are like that these days (or i'm just turning into a sour old fart? LOL) But yeah it's to sad.

I don't like that mentality at all. And to bad the people who have it most of the times don't understand the word hypocricy <--- hope i wrote it correctly english is not my first language 😛

But it's everywhere.
It's oke for me to.... but not for you to...
In the netherlands we have a nice exsample for this. We say something like: It's a bicycle thief getting upset because someone stole his wallet. (he doesn't mind stealing bicyles and selling them, but he is furious and they should hang the people that stole his wallet) LOL

@spammenot

NGL though the netherlands have a pretty good example of that, and yeah I don't like hypocrites either. I find it funny when they get frustrated by people who won't listen to them, even after word gets out that they're a hypocrite, it just gives us more of a reason to not listen to them LOL

At least this is a place we can all come together 😀
I think deep down, we are all pirates to some degree. i mean, i get it that vendors are doing it to make money... but like, we're pirates here. most of use are probably not going to pay. a vendor being a pirate and a hypocrite is indeed pathetic. they can't even stand by their beliefs... actively engaging in the thing they despise is sad, lol

@supreme-leech, LMAO! i just realized your name is "supreme-leech". that explains a lot

I think you would be surprised how many members spend a considerable amount on 3D content.

[Skeleton]

Let's always remember that the most wealthy companies on the planet have deemed piracy legitimate.

[Ethiopia]

@eelgoo, I echo that, although my spending has dropped considerably over the years. I can easily afford what I want or need but I find that little new content interests me anymore. I feel that so much content is the s.o.s. (same old shit). I have soooooo much stuff now after being in the hobby since the first release of Poser that I can always find what I want for whatever scene I'm making. There's one creator that I've gotten to know and I usually buy his new releases even if I know I won't use them, as a matter of support.

Laurendev is based out of Turkey according to his RH page. that would explain a lot with his mindset and applications.

[King 👑]

what's up with turkey and Laurendev's mindset? Are Turkish people rude or something?

I know there was a hacker one that was based from Turkey, other than that I don't know much, but I am curious to know more

[scoobydude51]

some Turks are scammers, hackers and even just greedy while being egotistical.

[D. Samael]

@scoobydude51

Damn, I knew there were some people from Turkey but I didn't think it'd be that significant.
