It's a jungle out there... We ran across one site uncovered in the shovelware sites who was offering free vector files. But when I saw some of the comments, I decided not to attempt downloading the files. One commenter wrote:
Quoting begins It is a SCAM and HOAX and has no business being posted on a site such as this. You should delete all links to ifolder.ru. They're lowlife scumbags. Quoting ends
Another writes:
Quoting begins We own the copyright to most of these tribals. Lots of them showing up on eBay. Everybody is about to meet our lawyers, including this website. Quoting ends
So I can see that other people are tromping these shovelware sites too. I decided to look for an "About" page. None there. However, I did find the "Copyright infringement" page where the site says "... if you want this material removed, you must provide a written communication ..." So, in effect they openly admit to ripping off the creative works of others, and hiding behind the DMCA.
