Hey !
Yes, I saw it too ! I think he/she downloaded these sounds before his/her freesound account has been deactivated.
So, let's keep aware.
This appears to be deleted user 1326951. But don't forget that even without an account they can still continue by capturing the preview.
In the old days of FS1 the preview was dire but since the quality improved in FS2 they can now get away with this for most sounds, which don't have noticeable artifacts. His/her customers probably won't notice/be aware of the difference and he/she won't care.
I see audiojungle previews have a pronounced audible watermark to prevent theft of the already stolen sounds.

Yes, you're right.
However, I don't know if this kind of watermark would be useful in freesound, as any registered user can download freely any sound.
No, I don't think we should change or screw up the previews in any way.
Just pointing out that an unregistered (deleted user) can still access reasonable copies of the sounds without an account.
I was finally able to disable their profiles. Now there is the legal process. It will be a long process, but I will try. And in the end, those who are right will win.
Ok guys. So in the end we were able to retrieve the data. A complete list of downloaded sounds by the since deleted user oguzhancill/onemillion. Thanks to Frederic Font for helping with that.
Sorry it took a while. Probably too late to be helpful, but here it is anyway...

Nice one Headphaze & Frederic.
Was it a manual task, or have you developed a bit of code/script to generate it automatically?
It would be nice to find out the hard work's resulted in a tool that makes your lives easier if needed again.
It was manually generated, it required a bit of digging into server snapshots from the recent past.
I doubt we'll need to do that again considering I now know how I can lock an account to prevent self-deletion. In the future if needed I can save the data from being erased in the first place.

This was interesting to read. This has taught me that you can't hide from justice! One question, though. Did the guy go to jail?
