Okay.

Plot Outline: "Documentary" about a man who can look and act like whoever he's around, and meets various famous people.

It is easy to make 2 avs that look exactly alike--I can do it in about 1 minute--without copybot!

"You are also free to copy your own work with a Copybot without it being considered a violation."

Huh, I always thought that the fastest way to make a copy of my own work was to simply select and drag!

Blue, you are going to have to do better than that.

Just because there are easier ways does not make the hard way against TOS. Yes you can copy a folder or shift drag an object. That doesn't mean it is against TOS to write down all the parameters and recreate your own object from scratch.

Similarly, using copybot to copy your own stuff is harder than the built in methods, but using it in this manner is not against TOS.
