Linden Policy on Look-Alike/Cloned Builds?

Hello-

(I've been looking for Linden comments on this topic and have found none. However, I'd like to appologize in advance if I've overlooked them and in so doing posted a redundant thread.)


What is the Linden stance on people building clones and selling them as their own work?



Example: I build a Jetski like product and begin selling it on my land. Several weeks later I go shopping for a new motorcycle and happen upon a Prim-for-Prim copy of my Jetski at another vehicle vendor. What are my options at that point? Do I just live with it, or is it worth reporting?

I've included a picture as example.



Thanks In Advance,
Brookston Holiday

Hi Brookston, there've been lots of Linden comments on this in the past. However, I also know forum search can suck. But you can try:

/invalid_link.html

Enter "User Name:" as "linden" and "Key Word(s):" should be "copyright".

Your concerns would relate to this, and the details of what to do are provided therein:
