Someone sells my models from 3D Warehouse without owner permission

Yes, it sure looks like your model for sale there. Yes that is against the rules of the 3D warehouse. It looks like the model-copy.info website has been reported before as monetizing models from the warehouse.

It’s dishonest and unfortunate and has a chilling effect on the open exchange of models that is the spirit of the warehouse. But, I not sure how much you can do about it. I’m not sure Trimble is going to go to bat to stop it, although a call from their lawyers might be the only thing that would. International intelectual property rights is a hot topic these days.

The site has a Russian feel to it, some of the “reviews” are in Russian. The site appears to be registered in Canada, You could complain to their domain registrant company? Complain to the company directly? Go all Liam Neeson and fly out there and find them?
