UXU Designs - Multiple products

UXU Designs, owned by Uberluco Resident, is a Second Life Marketplace based merchant that produces Vehicles. In this store, is quite a number of obvious ripped game models. Here's the list.

The product: Marine Shuttle
The source: Mass Effect 3 by Bioware and EA Games

(Top) UXU's Marine Shuttle (Bottom) Mass Effect 3's UT-47 Kodiak Drop Shuttle
(Top) UXU's Mercenary Shuttle 
(Bottom)UT-47 Kodiak Drop Shuttle skins from Deviant Artist nach77
This is most defiantly a game model rip. The textures on UXU's "shuttle" are unaltered and identical to Mass Effect's model. A deviant Artist by the user nach77 made a few skins for this UT-47. You'll notice that the Mercenary shuttle and the bottom left skins are an exact match. 
Even if this was a hand-made mesh, this design is within Copyright of Bioware and EA Games. Either way you look at it, it's not supposed to be on Second Life. Deviant Artist nach77 will be notified of his stolen artwork as well.

The product: Marine Transport pack

(Middle) Halo Reach D77H Pelican 
(Bottom) Halo Reach D77C Pelican
These "Marine Transports" are most definably taken from Halo Reach, and this can be proved by comparing the markings and vents on the textures between the models. 
Just like the Mass Effect models above, these designs are Copyrighted by Bungie and don't belong on Second Life at all.

The product: Alliance Gunship
(Top,Upper Middle, Lower Middle) UXU's  Gunships 
(Bottom) Mass Effect 3's A-61 Mantis Gunship
As stated above from the UT-47, these are Mass Effect game models. More Copyrighted content being sold and another artist's work being stolen.

Anyone buying product from UXU Designs should consider this information. If a DMCA is filed by any of these companies regarding there Intellectual Property rights, your product will be removed without warning. 

UXU Designs and it's owner, Uberluco Resident, is a confirmed Mesh Thief.
