sen, unfortunately it will be like that everywhere ......Unity has a bvh and object exporter plug in. The only real defense is to have a fan base. Ironically enough those stolen items are a way of helping to spread the word.
Don't let the negative change your enjoyment of your work. If anything do even better work so you are the talk of the town.
I know the feeling, my whole career got turned upside down from it, the whole industry got turned upside down. Almost every song I've put out so far is in a free mp3 download site. In fact I've even found sites that ripped my youtube videos and soundclouds and gave them away for free ( as if they weren't free on those sites already lol )
There are people that don't care, and people that do, - don't punish the people that do care for the people that don't. Consider the costs of marketing and think of the people taking your stuff as doing free marketing. - Also consider that if it isn't sold, not only are you not making money, but it's not getting promoted either.
Don't let them make you sad, just change how you view it, because it will be anywhere you publish on the net.
I like to think that maybe one of my products made someone smile that was too poor to buy it and lives in some war ridden town, I like to think that even when my work is stolen, it's helping someone in the world.
the other irony of this is that some of the people that download these cracks, have gigs and gigs of downloaded stuff, how is it a loss when they never even use all of it ?
It's like that guy that has 5 million songs in his ipod - like who listens to 5 million songs ?
