I'm not sure why the burden is put on the origional publisher to report ownership of posted models. It's clear to me that many of your models originated from the FCL without giving credit to FCL. The only other library with permission to repost my content in any form is 3DContentCentral.com.
You should limit your content on your website to your origional work and not "collect" or "tweek" others work. If you don't like a model on the FCL, just model a different version ........ from the beginning. It doesn't make a lot of sense for me to invest the time and money into FCL just to have others claim it. FCL models are free to all teams to use as they see fit for developing FRC designs but they should not be part of other website content unless they have an agreement with FCL.
There's clearly room for all of us. Just post stuff that's "purely" your own.

Ed, Just please
email me a list of parts you want removed. I do not remember which parts are yours, when we created the new library. We tried to stay away from your parts as much as possible and did not download any when we were working on the site, we did not steal or take any of your parts on purpose. That is why we don't have an extrusion section at the moment. Most of our content is different and we tried to stay original as possible. I am sorry if the Library has offended you, I would love to clear up any misunderstandings and remove/edit any drawings.
Whichever parts are bugging you, just please send me an email. I am going through and looking at the library and there are a few models that I may see being yours, not many. Most parts were drawn from scratch and we tried to keep it to our own drawings. When zipping and spending time uploading parts I knew I was going to make a mistake. SO THERE IS A REPORT SECTION TO THE SITE, I Kindly ask you to report files and they will be removed.

P.s. Yes, I do understand your comment, I am not ignoring it. I would love to talk about this more in depth via AIM or IIRC. Thanks Ed.
