I don't know who you are talking about nor am I saying what they did is
right but could it be that the people in question:
a) are underage and don't completely understand what they have done
b) did not indent to 'steal' the MOC ideas but 'store' then on their
brickshelf account for further personal use. [somepeople use/view
brickshelf as an Internet storgae location for their LEGO related items]
Also in order to prevent this from having it's always a good idea to put
your name/callname/alias/logo, date, and copyright on your images before
uploading to ANY internet site or even your own personnel website. It's
very simple to add text to an image and it helps this situtation. You
wouldn't display your work of art in public WITHOUT SIGNING IT! The
internet SHOULD NOT be any different. Take pride in your work and sign it.
