TurboSquid was built from the ground up as a way to create an easy, fun, and viable marketplace for digital media files. It's not a peer to peer network which allows users to anonymously trade other people's work, or a web site that attracts viewers by enabling trafficking in pirated material. TurboSquid creates the market where copyright holders of digital media can use Internet based distribution similar to the peer to peer model and profit from it.

Because our marketplace is based on the remuneration of copyright holders, we respect all copyright laws in the United States and internationally. Members submitting content to TurboSquid have warranted that they are the copyright holders, or authorized agents of the copyright holders, for all content submitted. Violations of this warranty will not be tolerated by TurboSquid, and typically will result in the permanent expulsion of the person who submitted the work. In some cases, a second chance for the seller to publish will be granted, at TurboSquid's discretion, based on the character of the infringement. In all cases, repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated from the system.
