I kinda get your point in the asset being stolen and ripped, but I really think that this issue is bound to happen whenever you have something that is attractive enough to people and/or you’re big enough. You can find stuff from big places like Flipped Normals, Dekogon, Kitbash3d and etc all over the internet
I’ve seen one of my characters being sold on chinese marketplaces all over the place and also some of the courses I’ve created as well. Piracy is something that no one is going to win fighting against.
With that said, the staff DID said in a previous post that they are using a different tech in comparison with Sketchfab. The last time I checked, it was really troublesome to get the newer assets after a certain Sketchfab update and while it was still doable, it was such a headache that I seriously think people would think 3…4 times before going through the ordeal. I think the cache files were encrypted or something like that
I’m giving the benefit of the doubt to them. So far I haven’t heard about FAB stuff being ripped using their 3D viewer, but for sure I’m going to remove everything everywhere if there is any indication that someone’s doing it. We can’t stop it but there is no reason to make it easier.
