What a facade. Stroker Serpentine is actually just a self-righteous prick. He only makes such a fuss publicly about content theft because it is an opportunity to promote himself and the garbage he creates.

nope I don’t have a problem :D

I want one of these ads to at least discourage some of the thieves that have been ripping my products for the past few months. :P

THANKS A LOT!

Hi, I’m a content designer in TSL, I was wondering if I can use one ads?

While I am an artist and I always hope folks aren’t stealing my online works, I couldn’t help but to wonder how many gals probably ’stole’ the picture of Stroker up there in the buff and shipped it across the countryside.
Oh well, so much for ‘if you got it, flaunt it’, eh?

I think it is way more easy to get a community to together decide on - take for instance - what is spam and what is not - and what is stolen and what is not? Look at the ‘battling’ ‘this was stolen’ vs. ‘I was first, not you’ on the fashion blogs sometimes. What if the subject of dispute is LSL (CCS vs WARP), … . Anything containing meds, Britney Spears or Shakira is spam, but for some in-world items it is way more hard to judge what is or isn’t ’stolen’ / IP-infringement? The Lindens have on average have more tools to judge on that than the community has at the moment?

I’m a small content creator myself and haven’t been hit by a theft problem yet, but I know it could happen. So I’m always worried when I buy something from a small content creator… Until LL do something similar, what about a public website tracking thieves? Like what Spamhaus is to fight against e-mail spam…

I agree. I paid 6000 Lindens for a skin recently and felt like I was totally robbed blind. Like they were taking the shirt of my back, so to speak. Imagine my outrage when I saw the same skin on sale for 25 Lindens. I have a good mind to go back to the store and demand my 6000 Lindens back. Honestly, the bare-faced cheek of these thieves knows no bounds :(

As a builder and virtual retailer, I am also concerned about this issue (but a bit less than the clothing makers; I make scripts that are more difficult to dup). However, I wonder how the poor consumer can tell whether they are buying counterfeit goods? It’s not like the perp is gonna mark them “stolen”, and many shoppers would have no idea theft has taken place.

Very well executed! While I feel that sometimes people tend to over-sensationalize this issue, these posters bring it down to earth a bit and share their personal stories.
