Videohive items used to create any video must have a license from Envato (regular or extended). Exclusive authors sell these items ONLY here. So I assume, even if it’s our own item it still must be purchased. (I could be wrong though… )

Well, the official line is apparently that if you notice goosing going on, then report it to support.

They would like to know about anything that is gaming the system, or is misleading to buyers.

What they’ll do about it is quite another matter.
