Let's be clear here. Using leaked content has occurred, but since he purchased a different model before or after he got caught that makes it right? No developer in their right mind would allow that buyer to use their parts from that point forward. Using leaked parts whether he rightfully purchased them or not is against ToS, and it is clear a rule was broken. Purchasing content does not justify him using the leaked content in question. You are also doubling down on your point where you stated private conversations do not belong here, but here you are quoting between the seller and yourself. If you decry how screenshots are not advised when relevant, but specify that you are not defending ED, it seems like you are not being constructive in this topic.
