Your as guilty as hell and you know it, just own up how does it feel for the shoe to be on the other foot all those people you victimised over the last who knows and you say your innocent LOL joke

Thanks for this article, very interesting. I did a lot of research before I bought a system for my geocaching. It is such a relaxing hobby. What receiver do you use? Click here if you'd like to check out my site. Thanks again for a very informative site!

Aaaaand…this is why I’m not inworld much anymore, when I used to pretty much freakin’ live in SL. I’ve been in world long enough (since ’06) to see a lot of change, and it’s not been good over the past year. There was a time I’d be freaked at the entire possibility of an account lockout. Now? I was reading this and thinking, “Wow, I really don’t care enough about bein’ in world to care if I got permabanned anymore. WHere did that come from?” Had a little epiphany over that one. The increasing hostility of LL has really kinda changed the tone of the place, and I just don’t enjoy it as much as I used to.

by the time you get the letter theyve probably taken it from your invent. look at transaction history.
A certain gay sex animator got DMCA lately for his own products…The removals team took his boxed items away but not his full perm versions.
It’s a good job he was innocent…

I can’t help but laugh to be honest, I doubt they are taking things ‘seriously’ though, if they were, they wouldn’t use the same email for everyone who had the object, and not just the person who had the DMCA filed against them.

Seriously…..Seriously?

Ok I know it’s not funny…..but it is.

As for ‘Condescending Linden’ I think I may have met him/her a time or two.

If I were a Linden that would be my name

Yeah, what can you do…..

I suppose, just to play ‘Devil’s Advocate’ here for a moment, they are attempting to take this shit seriously.

But Seriously?

If they’re smart, they’ll take it down and rename it. Anything else is just asking for them to be harassed indefinitely.

Apparently, the AO collection now, no longer includes the copyright infringing content, so it’s still allowed to be sold….just without the Vista stuff.

LL’s priorities are so all over the place, sometimes it surprises me how those monkeys can run the grid at all…

I spoke to the creator of the FhangAO – he sent me the log of his copy of the DMCA email. It was exactly the same as the one I received. The DMCA was filed by Vista Animations as Fhang was using a full perm Vista Animation AO in the pack, or so I’m led to believe. Whether he knew that the AO would not have been full perms usually or not, is another dramabomb.

The DMCA notice was sent, as-is, to me, other people who had this AO Collection at some point, and the creator of the AO. The people who had the AO did not have the DMCA filed against *them*, LL are just lazy and couldn’t be arsed to write a different email.

Let’s see LL really take down every texture ever DMCA’d. Welcome to “Missing Image” Life. I wonder how many I have bought from giant texture warehouses would vanish. But even that would not piss me off as much as when I got the alien eye candy demo and found out where a bunch of texture I paid for came from lmao.

It says in the letter “and all animations within”, so maybe you have an anim from the AO. But still these are not listed in the letter, and why the hell did you get this letter after all????? Sheer posession of copyright infringed material doesn’t qualify a DMCA, maybe an AR. Was the DMCA filed against you personally by the original AO-Collection creator (that at least is how i understood this useless DMCA procedure).

No, I don’t have to take any action at all – as the item was never my creation – so never my copyright infringement. I’m leaving it for now, unless I get a court summons in the post, as far as I’m concerned it’s nothing to do with me any longer, as the item isn’t in my possession.

Do you really have to take any action if it has nothing to do with you? What will happen if you don’t? I don’t know US DMCA, but surely you are innocent until proven guilty, and there is no case here to answer.

By: Cyclic Gearz

Cyclic Gearz — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 01:26:59 +0000

Yep, and by sending the same email as they do to the original content creator, to everyone who has ever had the item – they cause even more bother and trouble for themselves.

Sounds like the Lindens have created a lot of work for themselves if they’re going to start sending DMCA notices to everyone who bought something that’s been DMCA’d and manually searching creators.
