. What are the lindens going to do about this as illegal downloads is a big issue in the USA?


Not have read the complete treat, there is over here not something as "illegal downloading music". Distributing is illegal, there is a difference.

And I know it more for more countries like this.

The question is how do i protect myself against piracy. Do I have to hop from sim to sim or will the lindens actively search for this kind of piracy just like they do with casino's for example.


If memory serves, Lindens did not so much "actively search for this" with the casinos. In fact, I recall there were casinos running for some time. Some probably still are. There's no "Crack Linden Casino Squadron,:" I believe.

You don't appear to have tried at all, unless you've been remarkably silent about doing anything about this apart from bitching about it uselessly on the forums to a group of people who have no influence on the matter one way or the other.


ROFL Ordinal. Isn't that what most people use the Forum for? That and free potshots at people to make themselves feel better.

The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.
