I work a lot with Audacity ( audacity.sourceforge.net the free, open source software for recording and editing sounds), and like many great open source programs suffers from scheming profiteers claiming credit (and money) for themselves. Unfortunately such dubious practices are often kept at the fringes of legality so as to afford them a degree of immunity from prosecution. The best that we can do is to give the "deserved publicity" to both these wonderful open source projects and to the rip-off merchants that exploit them for their own selfish ends. Posting a link to this article now. Steve D As a long time user and supporter of open source software I have great sympathy with all that find this kind of scam so infuriating.

Do you think it's material they created themselves, or did they just copy it off some Blender site? Can you get in touch with me on bart@blendernation.com? Thanks!

Purchased it and all you get is a cd in an envelope shipped from malaysia. It has blender on it and some addons, video training is limited, what do you expect on a single cd, and oh yeah, no nice packaged boxes as shown on their site. All this is FYI, DONT BUY !!!!
