This is not OK. Look at the vehicle section on the Marketplace.. 90% of those vehicles are all stolen and people get away with it.. What's worse is when you tell the person they are blatantly stolen they completely deny it. For example I saw a guy's car with the Need For Speed logo on there and pointed it out, he still completely denied it was stolen. The main problem and why stolen 3D models are selling so well is because of the consumers. They do not care if the product is stolen or lag's, etc. all they care about is if the product looks good or not. I never think this will be properly addressed therefore the marketplace will continue filling up with stolen items.

There are tons of websites with 3d models tha can easy be converted to mesh compatibile with SL,free and paying websites and NONE of them allow their models to be used in SL. You will notice **bleep**loads of such content already sold on marketplace and trust me it wont last long,ppl who sell it now dont ewen know whats comming to hit them! RL law suits, $ penalties and if they stupid enough (like fiew realy are) to ripp game models from companies like Bathseda and games like Need for speed when LL receves DMCA against such ppl they will loose their shirt of their back,literaaly and irl! There is already to much ilegal/copyboted content from time before mesh in SL,now its ewen worse since ewery idiot with can easy acess 3d models online and convert/upload to SL and sell it! "Oh i made it!" guy says /me shows website link with "his" model to the guy "Mmm ups,i am so sorry,i dodnt know that website has TOS that forbids their models used in SL" There are tons of ppl like that already in SL,some act dumb,some are dumb but they all get screwed in end! If you are real builder/mesh creator and you realy wanna upload your own creations you will provide to LL your credit card info or paypall and live with it! It's gunna suck for them but they deserve it more or less. Rules are there for a reason, for people to follow them. I reported multiple people for stealing multiple things, most of them actually being banned. One guy infamous for uploading Google Warehouse stuff thought he would never get banned, turns out he's gone now. Bah I'll stop rambling. Glad LL is doing things to protect creators.

You'll be suprised.. Much of SL is consists of, for lack of a better morons. I go to sims all the time now, with multiple 300 LI cars out. As soon as someone with a brain speaks out and says it's not inthe best interest of the sim to have those things out, that smart person looks like the devils and is a lot of times banned for no reason..

Yep, a lot of the non-optimized Mesh IE a mesh car with a LI of 300 is most likly stolen from the internet and sold on MP illegally like someone stated before me. I hate how people are no original, I mean yeah you can base your car, building, etc. off real things but put your own spin on it.

Well you need the AV Full Perm and custom, which means no $30.. the cheapest I've seen customs are around 30,000L which is roughly $100.. The normal price for them is anywhere from 60k-120kL, depending on the work put into it, what perms, detail, etc. Also mesh isn't hard, it's sculpties that are a pain in the arse.

I really hope Sculpties go away soon.. Such bad memories

No, it would be possible for anyone except Linden Labs...

Makes sense, as everytime the viewer wants to show a sculpty it must go ask the server for the sculpt map, apply it to that sculpty, and wait for it to load where as mesh is just there, nothing to load except for the initial data.
