Is it right to do this as a seller??

Presumably not literally "exactly what I want", though. I mean, buying it shouldn't give me the right to copybot it and claim it as my own creation, should it?

Hi there Ricardo,

Patents dont apply in this situation. I am interested in knowing exactly what your intent is in telling everyone here on the forums that they can do whatever they want disregarding lic. agreements. Of course they are just words but they have meaning behind them. Just like Laws are just words that have meaning behind them. There is nothing stopping me from taking stuff off my neighbors property. Do you think I should just because I can?
Are you really trying to tell people that agreements mean nothing?
Due to the nature of texture and animations in certain cases as in the case of anims they need
to be full perm to be fully functional for the purpose of the creators needs.
Does the idea of honoring the agreements offend you somehow? If everyone chose to ignore
agreements then no one would create textures or animations. All cultures and societies have agreements embedded in them that help them function.
In fact that is what societies are...systems of agreement. Just because you Can do something
does not mean you should.

But in the chance I misunderstood what your saying, please explain what you mean with more words. Because it sounds like your saying that people should just take whatever they can no matter what. Is that what your really trying to tell the new people here on the forums?

It's up to the courts. And AFAIK, the common-sense view is what works in court: the C/M/T permissions stand as an implicit license grant unless overridden by an explicit license, and the effect of such explicit license depends on how well it was written and the quality of the evidence that the buyer affirmed those terms prior to delivery.

I'm curious, do you have the same viewpoint for real life items? Let's say you just went to the store and purchased a Bladerunner DVD. Do you believe that your ownership of the physical DVD somehow gives you rights to duplicate and resell it? What you are proposing seems to be no different. If everyone took your view there would be no creator willing to sell their items for use in other creator's products and that would not be good for sl. And by the way, what do patents have to do with this discussion?

There's no such thing as a license and the sooner these people realize it the better off they will be. No one owns anything here. Or should I say, no one has a patent on anything here which prevents a person from re-selling or changing any item around. That is if it's not a non-transfer item, anyway.

Nonsense. If I buy one of your products, I own it, and I'm free to do exactly what I want with it, including sell it for a lot more than I paid you for it. You don't own it any more.

Now you're trying to compare RL to this and it just isn't the same.

Copyright law would argue differently.

Exactly which section of US copyright law (or other copyright law) says "This law does not apply to copyrighted items created in Second Life"?

Do they apply in sl? I don't think so.

Now you're trying to compare RL to this and it just isn't the same.

And which says it does?

Why not? Can you provide any legal basis backing up your claim that people are somehow immune from copyright law while being in Second Life? Frankly, I find your claim to be ridiculous.

No matter.

The people you see here opposing what I wrote are the same ones who sell stuff in sl. Of course they don't agree. Having their cake and eating it too, right?

No matter.

Not a soul can tell anyone what they can and cannot do with items they sell. If you want to be so guarded with what you make then don't sell it, keep it under lock and key. Simple enough.

You got to have real big cojones to tell anyone anything once they buy whatever it is you sell. Real big. Then on top of it they then begin to compare SL to RL when they hit a brick wall. Of course they do, it's only natural. Never fails.

Once sold it's not yours anymore. Let go...you can't make rules...let go...let goooo. You'll sleep better at night. Trust me.

You guys kill me. You're all stumbling around like chickens without heads because you don't like customers telling you, you can't go around telling people what they can and can't do with the stuff you try to sell or they happen to buy.

You're even going around looking stuff up to bring here to prove your point. Unfortunately for you, your point is rather dull.

Amusing.

Exactly which section of US copyright law (or other copyright law) says "This law does not apply to copyrighted items created in Second Life"?

And all the junk most of you sell is copyrighted, right?


I didn't think so.

No we are just saying you are offing dumb advice.

.

Copyright doesn't work like that. If you create something, then you own the copyright.

You don't have to file for anything.

Its not like a patent.

It's people like Ricardo who ruin SL. Complete and utter scumbags without any common decency or morality. Not a shred in him. A lot of people buy items as full perms or copy/transfer and they use it within their license or just by following their own moral compass and saying "I promise not to sell these things except in my own items and with the permissions restricted." You have no moral compass. What kind of person are you? Even a common criminal has the sense to hide in the dark You stand up on the stage and sing and dance that stealing is OK! Ricardo has the audacity to announce the thinking of every single freebie reseller or full perms abuser.

If you are somehow trying to show some 'tough love' to content creators. You're doing it wrong. When you start thinking that all the content creators are bad. That a huge majority of SL users are 'evil' that means there's something wrong with you. I'm serious. You're paranoid or something. Or at least have some kind of mental defect. I'm sorry if that's true but you must seek medical help if that's the case.

And all the junk most of you sell is copyrighted, right?
