We, like many others, admire and respect Louise Driggers work. By posting sad face on Thingiverse, she used the Thingiverse platform to raise awareness and cause attention to the situation, which is a great tactic. Multiple complaints have been filed to the eBay sellers by various people and designers in the community are coming together to help stop the violations. Although Louise has succeeded in having the eBay sellers take down her Aria dragon model, there's still thousands of stolen designs listed.
We’re keeping an eye on the situation and know folks in the community are taking action.
