The crawler did not respect our robots.txt

But was still allowed to proceed. That’s like… not using the streets in a public park.

1. Fuck roblox and everyone who allows their child onto that cesspool of a service.
2. I can only hope they scraped NSFW content to improve their anti-adult filters/checks. Like, “Ok bot, these are porn, we dont want porn, if you find things like this and ban it you get plus 5 points”. I assume the non NSFW stuff was for noise and to throw off any sort of meta tags theyd have in common (or, to prevent DRM content)

How to read this:

The company Roblox decided to copy the entire database of a set of 3, mostly adult nsfw 3d model hosting websites.

You know, Roblox, that game all the kids play.

Yeah basically if you’ve ever seen 3D animated porn that wasn’t made by AI, and involved a reasonably well known video game character?

Yeah the … video maker nearly certainly got the model from either SFMLab or SmutBase.

The funnier part is this:

A huge majority of these NSFW models are actually variations of models made by … companies, that sell their models and character customization software, and have liscenses that generally permit use in something like a video clip, but almost never in an actual commercial video game, not without a subscription and agreement to liscense terms.

So basically DAZ and Realusion and such now very likely have a lawsuit against Roblox they could choose to pursue… unless Roblox wants to maybe very rapidly pay the liscensing fees, knock out a contract agreement real quick.

I hope all these companies that are flaunting rules to steal content to train their models get crushed by lawsuits after we kick the pedo crooks out of office and get a real government working again, so long as the new government isn’t filled with people that will look the other way if they get a boatload of money from lobbyists

Never heard of the site but it looks cool
