This is just how BeamNG mods work, those of us who pay up do so because we want to support creators and have the money but a free download is always one google search away. No amount of reporting will change that and, honestly, I'm glad that's the case, those who support get convenience, safe downloads, quick updates, and those who can't purchase for whatever reason aren't left out. System works.
LJ still makes a good amount, because a lot of people (myself included) don't trust Modland. Also he keeps his mods at a good price.
I'm not particularly scared about downloading from modland but I want LJ to earn so he keeps making amazing mods, so I support
