Hi, now this post / thread might sound too harsh for some or just too unrealistic or too *something*, but please read it.

We all know how a central unit can't take control of anything in a world like RL and now we can see it in SL too.

Lindens surely act to their best, trying to protect and care their world, their users and of course their financial interests. So I won't blame them how they couldn't cope with or against a million user's when it comes down to 'tricky plays' like this CopyBot stuff...

Therefore I would like to form a CIVIL RESISTANCE that would care for Second Life. It would mean not a lot of obligations, just those who care, should act more proactive.

Now of course this has its dark side too. You report a cheater that's fine, but if you act like a spy and deceive people to get information about bad guys (and who decides who's bad in first place?), or you modify codes for hacking tools like CopyBot just to make them log the IP of those who use that and.... (Or some of you may remember how in earlier in XX. century they made a spy of every people, especially in socialist countries; like you didn't know your neighbour just reported you or not, so these are not options in my mind...)

So I just would like people to get together and act proactively to defend SL if they care. Whether it would require a group (though it would be easy to hack them that way) or a secret group like they had in Fight Club or just individual behaviour (and what would be this behaviour), all these I would like you to discuss.
