On 15 and 16 October 2026, a crawler that said it belonged to Roblox walked through almost every project on Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase, and proceeded to download complete copies of 1,027 files from 712 projects. 145.5 GB of our creators' work, downloaded for what we assume are AI training purposes.

The opinion section is pretty interesting as I often seen people arguing over copyright and AI:

So we aren't asking for stricter copyright laws, or stronger protection for copyright holders. That will only benefit the major entertainment companies like Disney and Adobe who have already stacked the deck in their favor, and are happily making deals with Big-Tech and crushing small creators in the process. We're pointing out that the copyright we have isn't applied equally, and is in practice a two tier system. Individuals face ruinous damages for minor infractions. The largest companies in the world face a cost to be negotiated after the fact, if anyone can afford to sue them. A law that only works downwards gives nobody a reason to respect it, and it can't last in this form.

“When you’re a large corporation, they let you do it. You can do anything… grab em by the 3D model of a pussy”

Cory Doctorow has made this same argument and advocated for better labor rights as a real way to address creators’ needs.
