Dazposer Coincidence or hack?

So I notice from time to time when I purchase daz products here they end up after a little time for free over on dazposer file sharing site? I think everything I have bought eventually has ended up there for free. Though this time was really fast.  Not even a month ago i purchased 3 random characters , now ironically all 3 of the characters were added to their site all together. What are the odds?

I assume the website you mentioned is a piracy site. In other words, it's not the creators who sell their products here on Renderhub who suddenly decide to offer those products as freebies. Rather, the products are purchased by ' pirates ' and then illegally offered as free downloads.

That is yet another of PhuongDzu's piracy sites, the guy is a major thorn in the side of every store and content creator, even patreon users aren't safe from their content appearing on his sites.

What baffles me is how are they benefitting by doing this.  Someone had to have purchased that product, and then to post it on a share site and offer it for free.  Where's the logic in that?  Maybe I'm missing something.

The files aren't on those sites, they are on file hosting sites.
Files hosting sites have two systems, regular download which is limited to size and speed, then there's payed downloads which has no size or speed limit.
The regular downloads give the uploader a small amount of cash, payed downloads give a much larger amount, that is why they do it.

ProPose001, the logic is that the site manager is making some money off of it or they wouldn't be doing it. Ad revenue or a percentage from the file hosting site. Some of them claim to be running on donations as well. The only reason any of these sites exist, whether it be a legit store or sailing the high seas will always be money. On the high seas sites, you have various users uploading the content and often its the same handful and those people are definitely making a tiny cut from the file hosting sites through premium services.

Hello,
the website dazposer.com uses different scripts to spy at your passwords. They tell you to refresh the website after your login, then the srcipt is activated and look at your clipboard (in German: Zwischenablage) to spy out the content you have typed in before (Passwords of daz3d.com, renderhub.com, renderosity.com
etc.). You have to disable javascript in your web-browser and the use of your clipboard under your windows-settings.

Or just not visit the site at all.

So any site that tells you to refresh the page is probably up to no good. That's good to know. Thank you.
