Late but still, Damen is a good guy! He never stole a thing, he has allot of haters purely because the are not able to do anything for themself and feel the need to discredit him.

He is barely online these days, but i do know he is a a great contributor and never to shy to help you out with some needs.

Damen has nothing to do with it, he works too hard to be pointed out like that, it’s simple, someone got Damen’s work and framed him on purpose or not. The point is, Damen is unaware of such activities in SL, period

Damen is a good guy who has on many occassions taken breaks from what he was working on to help others. He’s often helped me with scripting snags and when he sends one of his scripts, it has often arrived in a plain, untextured prim with mod/copy/trans perms which very likely and very easily could have been the same reason his name would appear in this situation. I’ve also known Damen to invest some of his time to freely help others with scripts to track, control or dissallow theft or misuse, so I can attest to his character as deliberate theft would not be in his nature.

I just want to toss in my two cents here: I have been using Damen’s HUD for years. His work and his advice has been an inspiration to me since back when I didn’t know the first thing about HUDs. Now I have made several HUDs and have worked with many open source projects. His open code has been used over and over on products that are sold on XStreet. He is one of the great innovators of SecondLife.

If he did copybot this junk and was caught he would admit it. IF he did it he would not be stupid enough to do it with the Damen Hax avatar, which makes me think that he did not do it. Somebody did this to him because he is a respected member of the scripting and open source community. It’s sad but lately I have noticed that the scripting community has started to eat their own, what with the drama over 3rd party viewers and now this. Drama between camps has been flaring up a lot. The environment is getting downright toxic.

Who would do such a thing to Damen, though? I don’t want to point fingers without knowing the facts, but if you follow this story back to Shopping Cart Disco, Stroker was the one who alerted the media about the copybotted items. He even made up a list of people who Damen supposedly “stole” from. How did Stroker find this box to begin with? Perhaps he or one of his buddies manufactured it and slapped Damen’s name on it to drum up publicity for whatever scam he is up to now? I’m sure Damen has his share of other enemies in SL who could do this to him, so I’m not accusing anybody of anything, I’m just saying Stroker looks suspicious to me.

In response to an earlier comment.

I have never used the neillife viewer.
DO NOT download the client.
False claims on its official blog (lies) implies only one thing..
the author can NOT be trusted.

I really feel sorry for small people that have to hide, how sad.

On a “copy boted” object, if you modify just a single prim (it’s size for example) or add or remove a prim from a linkset, it’s not anymore the same object legally it’s not the same object, it’s a look a like…
Also, before suing someone, be sure, it’s 100% the same object if you don’t want to get in trouble yourself.
Plus, LL has no legal rights to search someone inventory…

You obviously are sick. Sick people like you, who crowd SL by the thousands, are one major reason for it´s forthcoming total failure. You are a disgusting, violent, idiotic and dangerous, not even worth any further comment, Get lost, lunatic.

I personally thought this was all a publicity stunt to sell more sexbeds (but stroker ain’t makin more sex beds so my spies tell me). So, it must be all to promote his dream (since 2000) ofcreating HIS OWN virtual world Eros 3-d, coming feb of the twenty-ten!

@viv: Come off of it already. Stroker is littler more than the virtual version of the woman who sued McDonalds after she spilled hot coffee on herself.

Both are in it to make a fast buck.

Both deserve to be laughed at, forced to compensate the companies they wasted the time of, forced to compensate the american tax payers for wasting the court’s time, forced to (in the case of Stroker) refund every asset ever sold in addition to giving due compensation for every asset he has ever used to make his virtual items, then executed so that they cannot spread the genes that allow for such fross stupidity to spread farther.

Like I said, I have nothing against legitimate concerns and reactions by those looking to protect their ideas. I DO however utterly detest people who lie, cheat, steal, play with the feelings of others and abuse the legal system … all to make a dollar.

Truth be told I also have something against those who would be so stupid as to depend on Second Life for their income. To do such is to depend on a web host that could go belly up at any time for said income.

Filing a lawsuit over Second Life content is NOT a legitimate response or action concerning the protection of an idea. There is no “might harm” in the end result viv. Such a suit WILL harm everyone else and it IS being done in the name of making a quick buck.

Instead of attacking anyone that dares to call Stroker’s lawsuit what it really is, why don’t you sit back, dig up all the facts, do a bit of thinking as a general user, do a bit MORE thinking as a NORMAL person (meaning someone who actually treats Second Life business as a hobby, not as a real source of income) then come back and comment?

@Codec: Stroker is nothing more than this years version of the twit woman who sued McDonalds over a cup of hot coffee. The lawsuit is just as much a waste of time, money and the epitome of the fast buck, sue happy mentality that truly needs to be eradicated.

Idiots like those two are the reason we have warnings on coffee cups telling us the contents may be hot, they are the reason,in fact, for each and every idiotic sounding warning on just about any product out there.

You know the type I am talking about: Warnings that anyone with even a shred of common sense simply do not need.

People like them do not need to be protected, they need to be shot.
