UGC THIEVES - Why isn't this group Locked?

Why isn’t this group Locked?

There is currently a UGC group called Catnip Cartel known for stealing from legitimate creators and uploading copyright-infringing items. Catnip Cartel - Roblox

When I confronted them about stealing two of my UGCs, they replied:
“I mean you can claim it but we’ll just counter you and it’ll get restored anyways”
“i’ve even counter dmcaed people with verified checkmarks and they lost them :skull:

On the group wall, members request uploads of rare UGCs, such as Limited, Deleted, and Off-sale accessories (even from ROBLOX)

To avoid DMCA takedowns, they typically modify assets slightly, often by combining two different ones. Example:
Cursed Lebron James Back Pal - Roblox 2 (Stole from Lebron James - Roblox 1)

Additionally, 93+ of their assets have been removed, yet the group remains unmoderated.

Additonal Group: Purrfect Rebels - Roblox

it’s pretty obvious they’ve been doing this so I’d like to say that it’s pretty obvious roblox does not care.

If there was another platform before Roblox that was like Roblox but was FAIR, then I would have spent the past years of my life developing on that platform instead. Roblox just seems to be a huge slop of disappointment right now.

Correct me if im wrong but doesn’t the copyright owner need to take action and not roblox? I mean it’s a duplicate item which probably means that it breaks some way of rule but at the same time the copyright owner would need to take action if it violates their copyright.

A stupid thing is that they reuploaded mrbeast stuff. If their legal team would get involved then i doubt they will be able to get it restored. The issue with assets is that roblox focuses on the uploader account and not the group itself as theres not a punishment system regarding groups. Roblox themselves would just say that the copyright owner needs to file a strike:

Issue is if those restorations are malicious. You would need to do a counter-notice which requires you to give them your personal information like youtube which can be used for doxxing. Also personally you shouldn’t interact with people like those, interacting with them gives nothing useful in getting this operation shutdown but rather encourages them to continue in my opinion
