Someone is selling Mixamo animations (on the Unreal marketplace) - with the help of Epic Games

[Edgar Bantu]

I feel the need to report to you that someone is selling your Mixamo animations on the Unreal Engine marketplace, in the product "Orca Games Full Animations Bundle" by the user "Orca Games" - without crediting you and seemingly without your permission.

The seller is publicly acknowledging this theft. Furthermore, Epic itself has given the seller 7400 US Dollar for these animations AND have promoted it from January till now - even while being made aware of the animations being stolen.
"Fun" sidenote: another of Epics five selected January assets contained stolen audio files as well (and has been taken down now).

As Epic requires the original copyright holder to file a formal complaint, I do hope that you can take action to get this asset removed.
This would not only protect your copyrights, but also help us indie-developers, as the Unreal marketplace is currently being flooded with stolen assets.

Cheers

thanks for the report

So since no moderator has replied to this, I guess it's safe to assume that Adobe doesn't care about people selling their animations?
