Let's call the poster a Linden Lab shill (or Linden employee alt)". It sometimes seems like a sport most posters take part in."How can I turn this thread or topic into an attack against Linden Lab or the thread/topic starter?" If it can't be conveniently turned against LL then it's "lets take pot shots at the poster. I don't know how many times I've seen posters make those unfounded allegations to threads or subjects that they disagree with. One has to wonder why such unhappy residents remain? I also note in some threads such an embittered stance against SL, it permeates throughout some members' contributions. Violators come in many forms and if those who make written observations and remarks to threads open up an avenue for exploration, it would be well to ensure their own back yard is spotless, particularly when making statements in public places. Moderators in my opinion are fair and do a pretty good job of filtering out most of the infringements. There is of course a distinct difference in making unfounded allegations and issues emanating from a thread which calls into question the integrity of a contributor. dont violate any of LL's posting policies or else LL will punish u. So if you are not a friend of LL's then Peggy is right. LL lets names be named depending on whom is doing the naming of names. we have seen in recent threads that LL Moderators condones this action even when the violator has AR's filed against them for this violation on the forums. Sadly Peggy, although LL Forums has a policy about "naming names" being a violation and that making unfounded accusations is a big no no. Be careful since you could wind up getting into trouble trying to do the right thing (I doubt it would happen to you but it could.interpetation is key). I know you haven't crossed that line but you're on pretty thin ice policy wise. Making a thread here is getting a little close to violating LL's policy about harrasment or "naming names". The best way to handle this is to notify the creators of the site and let them do what they must do to take care of the problem. The way the DMCA law is written LL's hands are tied until the content enters SL and the original creator makes the DMCA take down claim is made.
But knowing where the content was obtained is impossible so that's a dead end. Other than that there is not much we can do.boycott the site and refuse to purchase content that we are sure came from the site is about all. Users who are aware of the copyright infringements can best help by notifying the original creator of the copyright infringement and let them file the DMCA take down claim. If the owner does not do that then the filer of the take down can move into the legal system for further action. By law, the owner of the site must remove the content. The original creator of the material is the only one who can file the DMCA take down request. I dont get why secondlife dont start to work on shutting down viewers like that.The only "legal' action one can take is to file a DMCA take down to the site that holds the copyrighted material.
The bad thing about this side is, of course that you can download the viewer there but even more bad is that you can even download skins and all that directly on that side -.- even whole avatars.that means you dont even have to actually use the viewer Seems like they allready disbabled the new registrations, wich is a good thing, cuz that means that not more ppl can download the viewer.but still.the ppl that allready have it.can pass it arround anyway And this is seariously bad for every creator on sl and someone should shut down that side Where you can create a account and download a ascent viewer wich easy copybots stuff.either skins or even objects. A friend of mine told me about this site : (I've removed the link.
