Stolen Content

On discord, this person has been charging money for stolen content from known users: Anto & Nightcrawler.

    That's awful! Can we do something to stop that person?


    I'm not sure. Only thing we can do is report the user and call them out. Unfortunately, It's really easy to steal CC content. Once you download it, it's basically yours.
    Anto, the original CC creator, said he found one of his Patreons re-selling his work for MORE than what his monthly subscriptions cost.
    Crooks are gladly paying the 5 bucks a month as a Patreon because they know they can turn around and re-sell a single item for $7 or more. It's crazy.
  • I've been told that some cc creators "put" trackers on their cc. Maybe they could do the same

    Interested to know if something like that really exists!

    I've never heard of a tracker for CC.
  • All cc and mods are a piece of computer code. Someone with enough coding knowledge could watermark the file with a text string in the code.
