IMVU my worryies and what to expect.
10 years ago
Hi all,
it has been many months since i posted a journal, and today I'm going to talk a bit about the elephant in the room known as IMVU. you see at first i was rather dismissive of the isue, but then i read the Q&A with IMVU's CEO Brett Durrett... and that is when i started to really worry. it wasn't that he hosted a Q&A, actually i wish this had been done a while ago, but rather his vague answers to the all important question "what does IMVU get out of the acquisition?" . Brett Durrett stated "We think that by supporting FA they can build a better experience and bigger community and make something more valuable for IMVU, FA and the furry community in general." this is a great goal but says nothing as to how IMVU plans to make money off FA. In fact, i would have been more comfortable if they had said that they plan to sell advertisement space or something along those lines. i am increasingly weary that IMVU my try to acquire the rights to my charters without my permission, they have not stated that they would not do this.
so what of me then? well for the time being i am not leaving FA, not yet. however i recommend people follow me here...

I am backing everything up to Weasyl and until IMVU states that they will not claim my commissioned work as their own intellectual property i will post no new work to FA.

will be interesting to see what happens with this. I'm not sure what to think at this point, mainly cause I wasn't online or at home when this was happening.
