Most, if not all, of these types of viewers are coded to allow someone(the creator, a group, whatever have you) access to more information than you believe. Where does a copybot viewer come into play in this scenario? Well, IF one chooses to use a viewer with these copybot capabilities enabled, he or she is risking his or her account and information in doing so. This can happen when our accounts get hacked-though it's not as common as people would like to believe, it happens. A person could have, maliciously, removed them. They could have been returned to your inventory-in which case sometimes they do not show up right away at all and a re-log is required(though I have had things returned to me that took a day or so to arrive back in inventory, and a couple that took a few days, but that was a few years ago). They were either removed from the sim by some technical glitch/bug/error, or removed by a person. Person B just has a copy of it.Īs for your situation, your items disappeared, they were not copybotted. Person A still has his couch, it was never stolen, it still exists, it was never removed, it never disappeared. Whether he sells it, gives it away, or just keeps it, he still did not have permission to copy it. In any event, what person B did was make a copy of something he did not have permission to make a copy of. More often than not, person B has copied said item so he can sell it, but that isn't always the case, he may just really like the couch. Person B now has a replica of the couch and can decide from here what to do with it. Person A likely has no idea person B has made a copy of his couch Person B then uses a program/viewer set up to allow items to be copied, and makes a copy of Person A's couch(I'm not explaining how they do it, you can figure that out on your own) Person B decides "hey, I like that couch, I'm going to copy it" Person A makes a couch-permissions need not matter here
If one uses those, he or she does so at his or her own risk(I'll explain this further down, and why it may apply in this kind of situation). Nearly all of those viewers, are malicious. There are numerous different programs, many of which involve using a specific viewer(again, multiple exist) in order to copy items. Now, that something could be all sorts of things including but not limited to, prims(including sculpt and mesh prims), textures, and other attributes that apply to prims which one is able to copy. I'm not going to assume you are in idiot here, but for the sake of others reading, let me explain a little bit, because your post is going to confuse all sorts of people(oldies and newbies alike)Ĭopybot is, quite literally, the copying of *something. In fact, they are not even remotely the same. What you are describing, and copybot, are not the same issue. Where do we start looking for our copied items? What can we do to make life difficult for cheaters and scammers in SL?
Second life copybot viewr plus#
I can't publicise the sites here but it really does my heart good to see the scammers get a humiliating slap plus having hours of their time and their financial resources wasted. That is what I come to SL to do and the bulk of my time should be spent doing just that.Įlsewhere on the internet, I am a huge fan of sites that trap the scammers. My first response is to carry on creating. If I put weeks of work into creating really complex vendors with 1000's of lindens worth of other people's no-copy items inside then I do care a great deal. Do I really care if someone copies it? Provided they don't destroy it, probably not because I've had all the fun I'm going to get out of that. Moving forward - If I create a really fancy geranium meshed from 126 prims down to 1prim plus I put a gorgeous humming bird emmitter inside. I used to work in IT but I don't do that anymore.
That is taking me too far away from what I want to do which is to create.
Second life copybot viewr software#
I don't mind taking simple precautions to protect my work as far as possible but I don't want to get bogged down in the technicalities of viewer software and server hardware. My problem is that I come here to create. Their problem is that they just don't want to acknowledge that this happens (including LL) and it's easier to blame the person that it happens to than to do something about it. on top of all this well meaning people are happy to waste even more of my time telling me to check my 'Lost and Found', asking me if the parcel was set to auto-return, did I rename the item? etc. I have had meshes deleted, scripts damaged and I have no way of counting how many non-copy items were lost because they were in the contents of the meshes. If it didn't happen to them most people don't want to know. First I should say that I am really angry and disaapointed that so many people have their heads in the sand about copybotting.
