First: No Blog. This was to be your fool-proof channel of comunication to your customers, and it is down at this time of crisis. This smacks of an Ostritch Policy on LL's behalf. Not a good impression to your investors.

I came to the Blog to see if there were any new developments or statements from LL about the issue because many of my favorite places and shops HAVE CLOSED due to CopyBot, or more specifically, LL's stance on it.

My Second Life has be changed forthe WORSE due to this, and I want to know what LL is doing about it. But all I get is a web page error.

Second: Is there no communication within LL about CopyBot?

Today was my first day in SL as I wondered around I kept seeing this message 'Illegal Copy Protection':!quit or something like that. It was repeated several times a minute. To say that it was annoying would be an understatement.

What you're hearing could be considered Spam, please go to Live Help and report it's location so that someone can come out and address the problem.


How could Blue Linden NOT know that the !quit messages are people DEFENDING THEMSELVES against CopyBot, and call it Spam with a promise to have the !quit messages shut off? Is this a Linden statement that they plan to remove what little protection people have against CopyBot?

This is unbelieveable, and should sound alarms with any investor looking at SL. This clearly shows that the Lindens themselves are not knowledgeable about the situation they are currently in and would therefore be unable to properly adress it.

How can Linden Lab allow this to, not only happen, but continue to happen?

!quit Does Not Work

The !quit message does nothing to prevent someone from using copybot.

It's is unnecessary spam that creates problems inworld for other residents.

If you are using a spammer to say/shout !Quit please discontinue it's use ASAP.

Thank you.
