My my my Nelson Jenkins, what a hero, brain the size of a pea and thinks they know it all. well you actually know nothing and since you troll these comments pages like its your job perhaps you could just outline your allegiance to Phake Psyeton or whatever that fraud is called. It was he that was behind the whole thing and it all the twats over at their boring little forum did amounted to nothing but commercial sabbotage. the people who started all the commotion are basically profiting from phakes orb and Skills haks phishing scams
But then you would know that wouldnt you.
BTW I do hope you get a job soon so you have something to do thats better than posting at the alphaville rag!
youre a very boring person to read

@Lilith

Dating prims is an outdated way of checking to see if an item has been copyboted. There are a number of creaters who have their own sandboxes on other grids and just import their builds into SL for sale on the market place. I do not blame people for doing this. Grid A charges next to nothing for a full sim while LL charges over 1000 Real Dollars down and hundreds of Real Dollars a month for the same thing.

I’ve come across a blatant copyright breach in the Marketplace. Going by what I’ve seen, the account was set up to handle the Marketplace store (not a huge alarm in itself), and the content creator sent in a DMCA about 2 months ago.

Part of why the RedZone scam was sustained for so long, I suspect, was the feeling that Linden Lab won’t doing anything. Looking at how the Zyngo games were re-worked, and at how the RedZone problem was handled, they’re saying far less in public about what they’re doing than they did at the time of Emeraldgate. And now, despite a scare story that went out about removed content, it looks as though they’re not even doing the private stuff.

Acting on a DMCA notice isn’t something you have to do, but it it gets you out from under the threat of legal action from a copyright holder. You can bet that if $_BigCorp sends a DMCA over one of their products, the Labs will act. Most content creators can’t justify the cost of a lawsuit. And maybe $_BigCorp doesn’t even use the DMCA–they have trademarks to protect stuff which looks like their product.

If it comes to that, when did Bay City get expanded?

The Labs have cut staff, changed how they communicate with their customers, and are starting to look as though they work in ivory-towered isolation.

Oh, and maybe CNN are dropping their presence in SL.

Seems all the teens on The Grid have brought Copybot Armor to our grid, and are distributing stolen items around the Grid to residents as Freebies.

MKAY, cause your name has been applied to the parcel ban list by the red zone unit, albeit likely temporarily, a temp ban can go for literally billions of seconds.

MKAY,

Don’t shop there, don’t even TP in, they don’t deserve the traffic or sales.

@MKAYYY

Because there’s nothing stopping them adding your name manually to another product.

Perhaps they keep a list or perhaps redzone ‘fans’ gave out a notecard with your name on it, and just added all of them to a standard GTFO script.
