c. No store.

I’m going to give this a few weeks to shake out, and if it doesn’t look better, I’m also going to choose:

If they so wish to fete the programming class, even at the expense of certain members of that class who make commodities, that they will avail to them without punishment the ability to copy/intercept not only their own products for back up, but everyone else’s, then they are offering a world with a horribly tiered class of labourers and a terribly exploitative atmosphere.

Anyone toiling at low micropayment rates making shoes and hair has to consider their work useless and valueless in the fact of the extreme left expropriators of their product who, in the name of the right to back up their own creativity, back up everybody else’s, too, and pwn their efforts and their market.

Therefore the labouring creative class and the amateurs not yet admitted into the guild class can decide to make themselves minions in entities like Millionsofus and be paid by the Man outside of the exploitative micropayments and quit-rent system.

So people who are the part-time moms at Wal-mart and the Chinese students and the disabled war veterans have two choices:

a. risk exploitation and loss on the wild inworld grid making and selling objects before a CopyBotter or Glinterceptor wielded by the powerful programming ruling class notices you
b. hire up with the Man and get paid outside the wild grid for being part of the whole Travelling Metaversal Road Show

Buying it is not cheating, using it is not. What if I want to have it a similar device for being able to back up my _own_ objects to my hard drive?

In Real Life not all people who own a DVD recorder land in jail althought they possible could use it to violate copyright.

WoW banned and terminated 75,000 accounts for cheating. Linden Lab need to take similar action against those who bought copybot. After all, the evidence is clearly there, with no need to prove any ‘intent’.
