Question on snitching

[Patient_9]

Here in the states (specifically in my city) I have noticed more and more people printing, then selling, 3D models from creators on MW.

I am aware that most of these models have no copyright or statements on their page stating their models should not be sold but…

Would it be overstepping or, well, just being an immature idiot to send the FB Marketplace link to the creator and let them do what they will? My personal feelings is that anyone who sells someone else’s designs is a #%@$!!!

I have printed many models and figurines for my students but would NEVER sell them. Am I being a hypocrite as well as a possible tattletale?

…every single item on MakerWorld has it’s license listed for all to see, and the default when uploading models is “Standard Digital License”, which prohibits selling prints of the file.

To your main point, though, we should be looking out for each other. People stealing work from others are scum, they don’t deserve your silence. Notify the creator, and then it’s up to them to do as they please.
