O heck this all sounds like so much fun. Go ahead and put me on the blacklist. I don't have Copybot but I am a member of libsl and do support thier legitimate efforts. Now someone else can make a list of the merchant union members who are using the list to ban people from thier stores. We can use that list to boycott the stores. Why don't we go one step further and split into two main grids while we are at it. One grid for the paranoid nuts and the other grid for people like me that just want to have fun, learn and do what I can to make Second Life a better world.

The one thing that I find interesting, is where was the moral outrage and the closing down of shops, boycotting SL and the SL is dead to me threads when my and other peoples inventories were simply disappearing. Why didn't the merchant's close shops left and right then to protest SL's inabilty to protect it's residents? The missing inventory thread only had 186 replies, but ohh, the be able to copy something of "mine" thread was getting close to 1200 when it was locked. Could it be that some creators were silently rubbing there hands together in glee at the thought of many of us having to replace a large portion of our inventory?
I'm not saying that every merchant out there thought this way, nor am I saying copybot is/was a good thing, however from a consumer's standpoint, this is what I'm seeing from my perspective. If it dosen't effect me in a negative way or if I can benifit from it, ohh, no concern of mine.
Why hasn't there been a concentrated effort like described above to identify the bad merchants of SL. Have the other creators discussed having a list of merchants who offer substandard products or poor customer service. Ohh I know, not my problem.
I'm not saying I don't understand why you are upset, but after several instances of recieving poor products, and not being able to recieve any satisfaction when I asked if the items could be fixed in a very polite manner, only to recieve a brush off or no answer at all, my sympathy is somewhat jaded.

Everyone works out of self-interest Victoria. The fact is that creators had their inventory scrapped too, they weren't immune. Of products they would have sold. I think that this is a very different situation, it isn't an asset server bug. It would be as if there were an actual program that deliberately wiped other people's inventories lose on the grid and LL just shruged and said file an AR if you catch them. Also a good deal of those stores sell items like clothing that aren't affected by the bot ( I know some people are saying there is a new one that can do this but I haven't seen it). The difference is they actually got together and were able to pull off a protest where most of the time getting residents together on some communal action is like herding cats. What is ironic is that in the town hall, Phillip himself said they don't have the empolyees to deal with AR's and they still tell us to file them as if that is the solution, heh. |
