Everyone loves freebies, right? I mean, who doesn't!! The thing is, there are legit freebies, offered by very generous creatives as a way to promote their work (just like me on this blog!).
And then there are stolen freebies. These freebies may seem 'free' because you are not paying for them, but the person giving them away doesn't have the right to do so, is violating copyright law with their actions and in the process is causing harm to the actual creators of that work.
You'll often find these in Facebook groups as phone dumps or mega bundles - beware of these as often these contain trademark and copyright protected stuff and/or are being distributed without permission.
I don't want to get all lecture-y on you, but there's just one word for that kind of behavior - Greed.
And it's totally unnecessary because there are soooo many places you can get totally free totally legit SVG files, often with commercial use allowed, and you won't receive a take-down notice for using it!
