Just to clarify for you Kravenwolf, the links to EAI and Kravenwolf media were posted by immortal himself on that site, whether he posted the downloads or not I have no idea but you can be sure he either ripped the media he has on his drive or he made it available after purchase, it was his way of being accepted by them, so he could access the media he ripped off. I have absolutely no sympathy for him.
He then proceeded to download and alter (slightly) the cs:s character which he then tried to
sell to users on the FPSC forum if that not stealing in the worst possible way, I dont know what is.

Not really, for a while at least it warns both those who pirate and those who buy media from other users to be wary of what they are doing, this was a typical case of someone whose work was not very good suddenly acquiring fantastic skills in modeling and texturing within a couple of months.
I feel that the whole discussion about piracy in this thread is totally appropriate as this is where the culprit posted in first place, in fact first post complimented him on 'his' military pack(I also feel that his thread in which he tried to sell the aforementioned media should have been left open for a while so folks could let off steam about this) some folks actually paid him for that media and must feel badly ripped off as it is now unusable, what if they had used it and found themselves hounded by authors who dont give a damn that you trusted the seller.
Selling media on these forums is built on trust and the likes of immortal just destroyed that.

So the intention is to copy the file onto your hard drive and just have it sit there?
LOL if only it were that simple eh!
Try telling it to the judge.
