Man! I cannot understand people!--but I am afraid that kind of thing is looking more and more like that kind of thing is a "New Game" here. Probably done by one of your competitors.
I sure hope you get that taken care of and that LL does something. The penalty sould be
immediate and severe for this kind of thing--I for one think it is getting completely out of hand.
Well I am really sorry to hear about it. My heart goes out to you.

From: Learjeff Innis First, anyone who says you're selling items "stolen" from their store ... has a few bulbs burnt out. If they sell objects with copy/xfer permission, then OF COURSE people are going to distribute them, because IT'S PERMITTED.
NO. NO. NO. In IP law it is not permitted to copy something just because you can! Copying someone elses IP is illegal unless you have been granted specific rights to do so. If in doubt ask the creator. And usually in SL, people are having their IP stolen and replicated using either an exploit or an external program, NOT because the original is set to Copy/Trans. |

From: Nicholas Lyndhurst NO. NO. NO. In IP law it is not permitted to copy something just because you can! Copying someone elses IP is illegal unless you have been granted specific rights to do so. If in doubt ask the creator. In lieu of some other contract, the setting of Copy/Trans *is* a license. I'd like it to be the case that in-world EULAs were valid contracts, but their actual legal status isn't at all well established. (There are a number of problems, among them the inability to directly link a specific conscious behavior with acceptance of the EULA, as one can for example in the opening of a shrink-wrapped package with the EULA printed on it.) To protect anything of substantial RL value, a RL contract really needs to be executed prior to disclosure. |
