Have you reported them?

i have, i will be filling out a DMCA form in a little bit

Another question: What does it look like?

My inflatable latex cow suit

you've seen it

they basically just made that and are selling it

i am, yes~ i found out from a new friend showing me a new cow suit they bought

and then i asked them more about it

and then they showed me

and then i double checked that they PURCHASED it with L$, they did

i plan on making her something nice for bringing this to my attention (also i feel awfull she wasted 1200L$ on something that was stolen)

Ugh, that stinks there, hoping that the mess gets cleared up for ya quickly.

thank you, but this whole process is depressing, im finding that Latex Catfish is selling my suit again under my nose

should have never done business with those thieves

I know KZK has been dealing with copiers as well recently (on top of their payment server backup issues, hate it for those guys with how bad they have gotten it recently) I remember back (pre-voice) in the day I made some dragon avatars and came back a couple years later and someone was selling them when I was giving em out for free.

it is despicable, dishonest, and disrespectful what these people do

i wouldn't mind stamping out more of this theft and wrongdoing

it should never be tolerated

ever

Amen.

Second Life is horrible, I've had loads of people steal my art and ideas and turn them into terrible 3D renders, then make money from them. Some people have no concept of respect.

I love second life as a creative outlet for myself

but just some of these ...people...

i just hope this can all be resolved soon *huuuuuuuuugs* moo

just dishonest, disrespectful people, i have been hearing more and more about this person that was harassing me and others too and i have no idea how they are still on-grid

I wish I could see the topology of the copy. There is a good chance someone could scan.real suits and import them into the grid but the topology is messy. If you're able to see its wireframe and its a clusterfuck of tiny triangles, it was indeed scanned.

it was very blocky and edged the little i saw

a few months ago i caught wind someone was makeing my cow in second life

and i took a curious visit, with intentions of checking the project and giving my consent as long as it would not be sold for money

they immediatly insulted and threatened me all the while lieing through their teeth about getting the rights from catfish (apparently print screen saving an image on a website gives you permission)

fast forwards to now, they release works ripping off my intelectual property and charge poor sods 1200L

So you've caught one copy being primmed in game or did it look like.a mesh model?

it was a mesh model...

while I tend to rip content that I bought to make personal mods, I never redistribute them. this however sounds like a pile of shit and I hope you pursue to put them in their place

thank you very much for the supporting words

personally i love modding alot as well~ i want to release as many tools as i can for customization with my own creations

Worst part? I almost bought one of those. :c

ohmygosh i am so glad you didnt *squeeeezes*

i saw the in world version from another friend who bought it

it is NOT worth that much money to begin with, even if it wasnt based on my IP

I'll be writing up a DMCA letter to linden labs today now that it is my day off
