What are you doing with ripped models?

Most Autodesk programs are free to students. Just go to download one and say your a student. Simple!

If I recall, you still have to pay even if you are a student unless the class you're in gives it to you themselves. I haven't ever tried claiming to be a student, but I always though you had to show some kind of proof that you were a student as well.

As for the legality of it, well technically all of the stuff on the resource sites is illegal anyway so :p But seriously, if its true that they don't try hard to verify if you're a student or not than I doubt they care too much about it.
