One more thing Imagoel...this is not a battle between you and Mistress. This is a battle between content creators and content thieves. We all know what team we are on. I took my battle scars from you in the form of neg ratings, and I am going to wear them proudly because I know I was right. Aimee, I hate the ego stroke posts... BUT YOU ROCK!! Amen!! LOL Surreal |

While I personally would like to make examples of these people with no skills except to steal, I must take this time to mention that not all of you are in my mall in milu. The cartier mall.
So while this is a crime of it's own. Lets not forget that the people who actually make these items have overhead costs they need to pay for. For instance mall rent.  Example, a large 35 prim spot at my mall is $65l a week and 65 prim spots are 125 a week.When you steal, you take money from the object creators who in turn have to cut their costs in order to stay alive. Thats when they stop renting at my mall. and thats when I get mad. And I am a happy guy. I dont like to get mad. You dont see too many people in SL without their right hand, you know why? because only a few people steal from me. |

Very well stated, Aimee.
I am not so much interested in Imagoel's head on a platter as I am a positive outcome to this whole thing. However having Imagoel take the stolen items down and apologize is not enough because it sends a signal to others that they can still make a month's worth of income by stealing before they get caught, and the only consequence is having to apologize. Instead, whatever happens to Imagoel should send a signal to everybody that stealing is going to be far more costly than just creating your own content in the game. I would also like to see the process of catching/punishing these people streamlined so we don't need to form a village mob every time someone does it. This whole issue shouldn't have gone this far! Francis and Mistress should have been able to let a Linden know, and the process of removing stolen items and punishing the sellers should have been swift and routine. One more thing Imagoel...this is not a battle between you and Mistress. This is a battle between content creators and content thieves. We all know what team we are on. I took my battle scars from you in the form of neg ratings, and I am going to wear them proudly because I know I was right. -aimee _____________________

WE also get to decide if our positions and postings make us better or worse than Imagoel, assuming "better" is even relevant here. The discussion will most likely end when the Lindens take action making stealing a losing proposition. -aimee |

I mean its not ok what she did ... and ofcause lindens should do something about it... perhaps make it not able for people to sell others objects... tho I heard people talking about this in SL and people are saying ... they are giving her a hard time... that means ... GIVE HER A BREAK ... she got it ... and she said she was sorry ... then why go on.... BTW its not ok to post someones name on the forums... right? |

Especially when they've done it for over a year - without even exerting the effort to come up with a new excuse - or a new appology...

I mean ... if you keep goin on... are you any better than Imagoel? I dont think so ... let this rest in peace I really despise folks that come along and try to piss on everything as they force their lame parenting skills on people who can very well think for themselves. Things have been resolved. Not very well though. Imagoel's excuses are full of shit. Fuck the apologies. If ignorance was all we needed to get away with anything, I'd be stinking rich ... with a lot of dead bodies at my feet. Oh, but I didn't know killing was really, really bad.  If any random hack can come up and sell stuff I made and get away with it, what is the point of having a little business in SL? What is it Lindens?! You all just want us to bend over and let these cons screw us to death? Okay ... just needed to vent. Me go soak my head now. _____________________

most of what you are saying I aggree on flipper one thing I dont aggree on ... no where it says copyrights in SL ... I mean I am allowed to make a hug if I want to ... Basically, the difference is this: A patent is a monopoly on an IDEA. Copyright is a monopoly on a specific piece of art or media. Here, read the Terms of Service, specifically, section 6.2: 6.2 Rights in Content. You acknowledge that Linden and other Content Providers have rights in their respective Content under copyright and other applicable laws and treaty provisions, that they retain all such rights and that you accept full responsibility and liability for your use of any Content in violation of any such rights. You agree that your creation of Content is not in any way based upon any expectation of compensation from Linden. You shall indemnify and hold Linden harmless from and against any claims by third parties that your Content infringes upon, violates or misappropriates any of their intellectual property or proprietary rights. _____________________

time consuming... various accounts? What Mistress was implying was that you are an ALT, that is, one of Imagoel Best's alternate accounts. She suspects this because 1. The only time you ever posted on the forums were your comments just now. 2. While your account was created 3 months ago, you only have a few ratings which imply your account is seldom used. 3. For an account with such low milage you are very plugged into forum politics. 4. You are one of the few officers of European (a group founded by Imagoel Best). Muffin Boffin is another officer oddly enough. 5. You are one of the officers of Clan Morgan/Best along with Imagoel Best. 6. You are a member of TwisterRadio with Imagoel Best as an officer. 7. Broken engrish. 8. Identical misspellings and ... typing style (Thank you HoseQueen) While a few of these points could simply imply that you are good friends with Imagoel, put them all together and I think Mistress suspected you are an Alt. -aimee |

So what is the result of this Mr. and Mrs. Linden? NOTHING?
Following 125 posts, an admission of theft, deliberate defiance to remove the items, neg storms to people who have the courage to speak up. Pathetic administration of the Mentor program. Likewise the TOS is now laughable. _____________________
