I've heard and seen about more skins being stolen tonight. This really bothers me that someone can do this. It takes many, many long hours to make a great skin. If someone is looking for a way to make money in SL, this is not it. It is not worth ruining your reputation to make a few quick dollars like this. It is also just plain wrong!! The place I saw this at, I rented a vendor at. I will never rent there again as the owner of the mall was selling the stolen skins. The person this happened to has had it happen before recently. I hope this doesn't happen to anybody else anymore, but I'm sure it will. For those that are thinking about doing this, it is not worth it and is very wrong. Think about all the hard work it takes for someone to make these. It just isn't a one night thing, it takes a good month or more. Please Stop!

If so, send me the name of the mall owner and a copy of the pics, along with the name of the creator of the original skins? (Initials wouldn't be MM, would they?)

(Initials wouldn't be MM, would they?) I'll try to message you the mall name tomorrow morning. Right now I'm not able to sign onto Second Life. No pics sorry. Someone else did take pics though. I don't really want to say who it happened to on the forum either, but it just happened to them several weeks ago I think. |
