jstro - how does that put things into perspective? i fail to see your point. of course warez exists, and everyone knows it. this is nothing new or groundbreaking. but crimes of all sorts exist. i dont go knock on my neighbors door and accuse him of being a child molester without a shred of proof, now do i? nor, because crime exists, do i automatically assume everyone is guilty of one crime or another until after ive trodden upon their rights and they have met all of my rediculous demands. she is way out of line, and there is no excuse. paranoid about warez? it exists. like someone said above - the people who traffic in warez probably wouldnt have bought her items anyways had they not been able to aquire them for free. every vendor in the marketplace faces the same problem, yet none of them take the prissy, rude and insulting vigilante approach that she does. and they do not resort to misleading and immoral tactics like she does, nor do they try to scam a way to get free advertising for their products in their licenses. her entire presence at renderosity revolves around money. she doesnt speak english well enough to understand? bullshit! her posts in the galleries, all of them promoting her products, have immaculate english in them. so do the clauses that she adds to the license agreements after point of sale. her IM to me was also in perfect english. i sympathise with people who must learn english as a second language. i had to learn it as well, and ive also taught ESL so i know both sides. but i also think that some people conveniently use this 'oh, i didnt understand what you meant because i dont speak english too well' bs to extract themselves from situations. she understands perfectly well, and even if she didnt, its no excuse.
