Just got in a argument (and was called a troller) on Facebook, because some people think it's OK to print out free models and sell them on ebay for a profit........... and not even pay or share the profits with the designer of the model...........
Their argument was "It's a free model and I'm providing a service to people who can not print it out themselves."
My argument is "If the designer didn't do all the work in the first place they wouldn't have anything to sell but blank pages; and that they are profiting off the work of someone else without compensating that person for his/her work........ "
I maintain they are stealing or pirating the work............ they see nothing wrong.
Am I wrong?
It's one thing to give away someone else's work, but even with the designers permission if another person is profiting from it, they should share those profits with the designer.........right?
No I don't want to start another pirate thread, but to me this is a pretty simple case of theft........... taking something that belongs to someone else and selling it to line your own pockets............
