The website is back

After a week of horrible experience with our hosting provider the 3D models store is back and fully functioning. I do not even know where to begin to describe how bad our provider's customer service was. So, probably I will leave it aside and bury it in the depth of my subconsciousness hoping that it will not come back in nightmares :) If you are particularly interested which hosting provider they should not go to - you can ask. On the other hand, does anyone know a hosting provider that has great customer service, where people do thei rjob thoroughly? I heard they all are like that, even those that charge a lot more than others. On the bright side we did get a huge discount and a coupe of months of free hosting. However, even though we lost about 4 days of revenues, our sales seem to be growing rapidly.

Copyright issues

I am sure any store that sells artistic content has encountered this problem. Music stores had their history with DRM, now they are trying to get rid of it. SnoCap is compiling an enormous database of all music ever produced. U-Tube is just saying that they are not responsible. So how do we make sure that artists publish their own original work and do not steal from other artists and their employers? For instance, one of our artists "3dd max" publishes very high quality 3D models. Recently, he uploaded a bunch of new models that look too good to be done so quickly. But can we be sure these are not his work? Of course, there are ways to check the history of the project file, but do we have to go to the length of getting the original project file form the artist and doubting his honesty? And furthermore, it really is not even feasible to check every single item for originality. Of course, when another artist writes to me saying that these were his models, I get the project files from both artists and punish the thief, but until someone claims their work, what can we do?

Hollywood is getting progressively boring

I know, sequels are safer investment, and blah..., but please! Out of eight previews in the theater, five are sequels: Born 3 (The Bourne Ultimatum), Pirates of he Caribbean 3 (The End of The Worlds), Harry Potter N-3, Fantastic Four 2 (Rise of the Silver Surfer), Shrek The Third, and well, Gracie is not a sequel, but sounds like Bend It Like Beckham with a twist. Booooooring...
(good thing they did not show previews of Ocean's 13 and Spiderman 3)
