Cory, I’d like to ask you a simple question: Why are you still supporting libsecondlife, and why are Lindens still in libsecondlife, when it has not reformed, when the people responsible for CopyBot, the god-mode stalking, and the jumbo prim griefing and destruction of the world all still remain in the group, as do W-hat fresh alts?

What is it you hope to accomplish by continuing your support of this group? What are they working on now that might be harming us next? And why is it that people in it are able to reverse-engineer the client, despite sanctions against reverse-engineering in the TOS?

Furthermore, I’d like to know what procedures are in place to protect Second Life from the griefing that occurs out of this group, and the machinations and supposed “accidents” that occur with untested, amateur-coded software that invades our world. Why do you permit software or scripted items of functions that can access SL that are submitted *anonymously* and posted in the library of libsecondlife or on third-party sites by libsl to be used within SL? And do you feel that Lindens should be supporting a group that gains financially from their work reverse-engineering the client?

We pay for a subscription to Second Life and we pay for server space and we sign a TOS; this TOS and this service doesn’t also say that we may be damaged or even have our businesses and second lives seriously harmed by experimenting on the reverse-engineering of the client by a series of griefing alts and anonymous hackers.

Please explain your continued support of this group also, in light of the founder’s admission that he has paid sources to lie to journalists, and also sold CopyBot on an alt.


Can you please answer?
