Hmmm... First journal for me... What should it be... Hmmm... I know!

For those of you who play SecondLife, you'll understand this! Especially if you are a content creator like myself and many others out there. Recently a malicious tool called 'CopyBot' was discovered that was set loose on SL. What this does is copies content that you don't own and don't have In-Game Character Permissions to copy, creating a security loophole AND a major loss for content creators whose work is being stolen... So what happens? Well... Linden Labs, the creators and owners of SecondLife, post this http://blog.secondlife.com/2006/11/.....tos-violation/ to their official blog.

Now... I'm not attacking them over what they did in that post... They were covering their legal asses... But dayum!!! Couldn't they have at least done some kind of fix before posting that and sending the shear volume of abuse of CopyBot through the roof? Almost 200 In-Game stores have now closed. Several SIMS (Privately Owned In-Game Land) have closed and been taken offline. They shot themselves in the foot while covering their asses. *sighs*

I'm just hoping that Bare Rose doesn't suffer much from this... We're doing what we can in game to protect our content... But who knows.
