A question of ethics, or contributory copyright theft ?

Carmen said
@thecodingdude, threads started on the weekends (in Australia) tend to take us a little longer to get to, as we aren’t all working when they are posted.

You all know the reasons why we don’t allow copyright/warez conversations on the forums. Basically we don’t want to draw attention to bad behaviour or encourage it on our site. However, I am not going to lock or disable this thread right now, as I understand that you are frustrated and have questions about how we deal with these issues.

I’m currently working with Collis to write a post which addresses the questions you have asked and will be posting it in the next week. We know this is an important issue for you guys and I want to make sure we answer your questions as well as we can.

Hi Carmen,

We appreciate the fact that you are willing to talk to Collis and create a post about our questions but it would be best if we heard this from the horses mouth. Perhaps see a road map of what is currently being done to help prevent copyright and what we will expect to see in the near future regarding copyright issues. Right now we are all so frustrated because we waste so much of our precious time investigating these issues and we’re talking about copyright that is in our own front yard, not on warez sites, we’re talking about being promoted on the homepage of all marketplaces, yet the reviewers are unwilling to take the time to find these blatant knockoffs and rip offs. I’ve personally emailed the reviewers I know that are supposed to be reviewing these items and they don’t even respond to my emails. If they cannot simply respond to an email regarding these issues, it shows you that they are unwilling to do the right thing and approve items based off of facts.

@xstortionist I agree that you need to hear about it ‘from the horses mouth’ which is why Collis is the right person to answer these questions. (Although I don’t know how he’d feel being called a horse :)) The review team are not the right people to answer these questions for the community, if you do have questions or would like to raise issues you can always contact me directly through my profile. I may take a little while getting back to you, but I will definitely raise issues we aren’t aware of with the rest of the team. I’ll make sure to link to Collis’s post in this thread, when it goes up.

Hi guys, thanks to Carmen for getting me over here

I just wanted to post and say that I appreciate what xstortionist wrote asking about our general copyright roadmap. I’m currently reviewing and familiarising myself with how we handle these issues and where they go so I can post in a good amount of depth.

I will have to hijack the thread but I need to put a question to Collis about something that puzzles me from some time, if he’s willing to answer off course

The user interface/site usability expert. I remember you promised to hire someone who knows about this stuff. After sometime I’ve checked the envato team page and noticed there was/is a UX position listed, Justin French as UX Lead.

But I saw no particular improvements to the marketplace usability after that. Yes there were some changes here and there, sometime with no particular logic that we can understand, but nothing I, and maybe others, expected from staff dedicated to this issue. (ratings, shopping cart … )

Now the Justin French had been delegated to other mansions like this mysterious “Author Product Owner” position

But what about the important topic of user experience? When someone will dedicate his time to this issue and when we will start to see the results?

Debated this copyright stuff with collins and his team in the past numerous times. Not a particular issue that I need an answer now since they already informed the community about how they handle the copyright infringement.
