It has recently come to my attention (mostly due to people IM'ing me out of the blue) that someone is selling an item named CopyBot v12 (Search Places for CopyBot, it's the one with the big red sign)
The item being sold is the Offline Builder Importer. A Free Item that I give away in one of my shops.
So since I'm tired of the various IM's looking for support for "CopyBot"... If you get an item named "CopyBot" it wasn't made by me.

I make and give away an item named "Offline Builder Importer", someone renamed it to "CopyBot" and is selling it for $L 3000.
People get scammed... I get the complaints..

Hey Thraxis, nice to see your post, now maybe I can get some help some copybot problems.....
JOKE!
Is the Offline Building Importer the script that worked to create objects inworld that were designed in Blender using Jeffrey Gomez's Blender script?

Hey pretty cool, I wonder if Jeffrey's Blender script still works with a current version of Blender? It's been a while now.

Ahh and someone else used the something else or another something else to copy the original something else and renamed it copybot. Seriousy I bumped into a guy a few months back, he'd been inworld for about 4 hours, spoke poor English and wanted to get a free copybot so he could open a shop in SL, I'll send him to the guy selling copybot next time, maybe he will give him a beta copy for free or something..........................

From: Oryx Tempel So what does it do? Why would people call it CopyBot? it imports 3d models into SL from various exported models from other 3d apps like maya and blender as for the second question... uhm, to scam people that can't read code? or maybe because it 'copies' 3d stuff from outside of SL to inside of it, so they can say they aren't scamming people. it's just name confusion... ... like how I still sometimes call the prim mirroring script 'copybot', even though that's not what people think of when they hear copybot

I assume you've abuse reported? Or DCMAd or whatever it is you're supposed to do in this case?
