There's a big fuss among people like the hair & clothes designers right now, about TEXTURE THEFT -- what they don't understand is that the program people are using to do this does not require them to take a snapshot -- all someone using it need to do is be close enough for an object to rez completely... thus putting the texture into the computer's cache, which the user can then access later.

They also don't want to be told/reminded that most textures in SL are all stolen ANYWAY, but as I'm currently writing an editorial on that for my website, I'll just drop that observation and exit stage right.

Taking a screenshot of ANYTHING in SL is not a violation of any kind unless you are using the new camera tricks to violate someone's privacy (like inside their house or private "playpen";). Don't worry about it, and keep taking your snaps, hon.


Yes its sad that some resort to stealing others work. I cant even figure out how to make stuff! Maybe one day! :(

Thanks for your input :P

Last time I checked, the Nazis lost the war. Freedom is alive and well. Snap away!

I would say that there is a difference between legal rights and common courtesy. I just published a book that had a number of pictures in it (self promotion - Joy of Second Life Sex). While I pretty much understood I could take about any pic I wanted, my own courtesy rule said I needed the permission of any person, plus of any interior. But didn't for exteriors. I also gave everyone I took pictures of a copy of my book. These were my own courtesy rules, but I think they were fairly balanced.
