Ignore last message, meant kik trading group

Hi, I meant kik, not WhatsApp, completely anonymous. Would anyone be interested?

The problem with encouraging "trading" of material (i.e. sharing unauthorised copies) instead of at least occasionally paying for it, is that it will in very short order result in there being nobody around who shoots new material for those who want it.

Discuss.

Most of the traders in the group are trading sets they themselves have produced or have paid for. Plus some have had shoots specifically commissioned
But I do see you have a valid point in tegards to unauthorised trading.

Have to say I'm dubious about that. Anyone who has paid models and spent time making sets, is unlikely just to start letting let them go as "swapsies". The people who are "trading" may possibly have paid to get some material initially, but now they're using it as if it is theirs to give away.

When everybody's happily trading amongst themselves and no-one's spending a penny on anything, the last person still shooting new material will stop doing it, and then there just won't be any, and you can all look around and wonder why.
