Dear builders,
My name is Marina. And I would like to write you in behalf of team legko-shake.ru.
As some of you have right said above, our service is for children and their parents who love Lego and want to make more models from their sets.
It's in Russian and for Russian-spoken people.
We would like to make clear some moments of our work, because we see some misunderstanding here:
1. Yes, we're collecting Lego models all over the Web. And it's quite challenging to have all information around the world translated into Russian - names, tags, themes, categories etc.
2. Yes, we always write authors' name or nick and add link to their website.
3. No, it's not a clone of Rebrickable. It was our original idea and we saw Rebrickable much later. It was a little bit dissapointing but we decided to continue because our project was ready. First it was about helping people to choose new set with many new parts. MOCs was the second idea and we were asked to add this functionality from our users.
4. Yes, Rebrickable.com is one of sources, not the only one. And yes, we've contacted Nathan Thom from Rebrickable, he knows about us. We also have page with our respect to him: http://legko-shake.ru/blog/about/our-friends-and-partners
5. Yes, we're always looking for models' authors, to get permission from them to display new models on our web-site. And it's not so easy to find contacts. We thank Bart, this topicstarter, because it's a great opportunity to get in touch with authors.
6. We always remove model from our site, if author doesn't want it to be shown.
7. Yes, we promote authors with articles - for example, see article about Tomik here: http://legko-shake.ru/blog/tomas-vit-my-lego-story. And about his MOCs http://legko-shake.ru/blog/31034-moc. And Tom was also so kind to give us permission.
8. Yes, we promote authors with russian translations of their Youtube videos. See Jason Allemann's russian subtitles, for example - https://youtu.be/_AJYc3mPvRg?list=PLt0c_OsTbFxfnxH0-T7cCrVn31ChULX2E, https://youtu.be/aQru5c6GwFs?list=PLt0c_OsTbFxfnxH0-T7cCrVn31ChULX2E
The articles about his mindstorms creation are here:

http://legko-shake.ru/blog/moc-4559
9. And last, but not least - No, we do not resell instructions.
We welcome all authors to partnership and to be promoted on our site.
If you have not received an email from us it is just mean two probability:
We have not got your email address and we are searching it.
or
We have found your email address, but have not yet got enough time to write everybody from our list. But we are going to do it. Step by step.
You can help us to do it by writing us directly.
Thank you for your time and attention.
You are all great Lego builders!
