Unfortunetely the same suckers that ripped all the models on Sketchafb (including over 100 of mine :-/) are of course trying to rip FAB.
I hope FAB is aware of it, and I hope FAB makes it better than Sketchfab!
The Data theft on Sketchfab was simply to massive to ignore or just accept it.
The weak point was the 3d viewer.
I hope FAB is preparing adequate COUNTERMEASURES.
Here is just one of many announcements, even on Patreon 
so ripping and stealing is now officially a Patreon worth project.

Thanks for the report. We’re keeping an eye on it.

Asset theft was highlighted in another post, about a ripper back in December.
We didn’t get a response about it. At least there has been this time.
I deleted all my models on Sketchfab and talked about what else I could do to try to protect my assets.
(I had some of my models, back in December, appearing here on Fab that someone was selling. This was talked about in separate post. The seller has now gone and so have my models the seller was selling…thankfully).
Here is the asset theft post from December.
Hoping Fab can do something. It would be nice to know what they can do and have done.

Hello,
I was curious and went to see how they rip the content. A simple script… I’m thinking of stopping putting objects in the 3D viewer, leaving just JPGs. This will force pirates to buy the product one tine before reselling it, in Asia for example.
Furthermore, the viewer is a disaster. I still see too many errors, disastrous resolution changes, lights that run their own wild, and inappropriate axis changes.
Too slow to navigate in 3D on fairly heavy assets. However, a few months ago it was much faster.

Just as an option - you can create a separate .fbx for the viewer, without rigs and unnecessary parts, with all meshes joined together etc.
This way it is processed easier and is useless for those who try to rip it off. But works with complex models only.

in reality, Real solution is that ''Shutdown FAB ‘’ instead of focusing on other thing..
FAB is disaster and worst downgrade i ever see..
Now someone will come and say ''FAB is under developement and check road map ‘’ 
Everyone is saying that FAB need to be shutdown but EPIC Games is doing nothing.
