just3Dprint Selling 3D Models Downloaded from Thingiverse Without Permission

[curious aardvark]

there was a model selling service doing exactly this last year and advertising on 3dprint.com.
I mentioned it several times, but the adverts did not go away.

If brian and co aren't prepared to do what they can to stop this - who will ?

Hmm the ebay thing is selling actually printed models, not the model files.
Think that's a pretty grey area legally at the moment.

were they selling the actual .stl files that would be illegal - but selling actual things they've made, not sure how that stands.
I did see a simple plastic tray that was going for $84 - that's just insane.

Their name doesn't come up much in the forums here, are you sure it was the same people? they haven't been selling 3D printed stuff that long
