Virtual Blockbusters and Copyright Queries in SL
Lord Derryth replied to Lord Derryth's question in Everything Else
No, don't want to file a tos on them. Just curious why LL would allow this to happen. It's literally piracy on their platform. Charging people lindens to rent a movie. It's basically LL promoting piracy on their platform. -
I recently discovered a new TV brand and, intrigued, I decided to purchase one. However, my curiosity turned to confusion when I visited the sim associated with it and discovered it functions like a virtual blockbuster, charging around 350L for each movie. This situation raises concerns for me. Isn't distributing movies in this manner without proper licensing illegal? It puzzles me how individuals can showcase and sell movies in Second Life (SL) without facing any legal consequences. This business model appears questionable and likely infringes upon copyright laws. I'm curious about how Linden Lab (LL), the company behind SL, permits such activities, given they seem to involve pirated content. This is especially perplexing considering the strict policies against trademark use within SL due to copyright infringement. There's a sim openly engaging in what seems to be the sale of pirated movies, which contradicts these policies.

Hi, I've been working on a full series for the past 10 years that evolved into a zombie series. Obsidian was formerly a tranquil urban center until the arrival of criminal elements such as thugs and drug dealers, which precipitated the city's decline into disarray. The advent of a drug, whose impact on the city was tumultuous, led to scientific experimentation. The current state of Obsidian is dire, with a pervasive plague that has transformed the majority of its populace into zombies. Despite this, Mayor Lord Derryth valiantly champions the cause of the city's residents and fights to restore order. The question that looms large is whether Lord Derryth's efforts will be sufficient to save Obsidian.

Full Region 15,000 Prims, $96 USD Upgrade 10,000 Prims $36 USD/8250L = $132/week Homestead, 5,000 Prims $23 USD No Prim Upgrade (would love to pay the Extra $36 for 10,000 prims) In Second Life, there are two types of virtual spaces you can own - homesteads and full regions. Homesteads are smaller and less expensive, but you get fewer building blocks (called "prims") to work with and limited options for upgrades. Full regions are bigger and more expensive, but you get more building blocks and better performance. Homesteads are stored on a shared server with other homesteads, while full regions get their own separate server. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Why can't homesteads be upgraded to 5,000 more prims? I find myself falling short of 2,000 prims to achieve my goal.

Can someone offline track you in SL?
Lord Derryth replied to Lord Derryth's question in Abuse and Griefing
I know about Second Life website and seeing who is on. I use it all the time to see who is on. She literally logs in 5 minutes after I do. She can't possibly be logged in as another avatar tracking me and getting notifications that I'm in. I feel like I can't breath the moment I log in because she's on and there and always there. Who does that to a friend? -
Hi, I've noticed a friend on my list that is always logging in 5 minutes after I do. I thought it was coincidence at first. Someone told me, "Dude, she keeps logging in every time you log in." I tested this theory. I logged in during times she would not be on. 5 minutes later, she's online. There are times where I wanted to log in and decided, "Let me wait an hour and see what happens." I waited an hour, logged in and 5 minutes later, she logs in. Is there a website besides secondlife.com which you can log in and hit the refresh button like a serial killer on the stalk that actually notifies you a certain friend has come online? This is starting to get a bit freaky. I've been told you can be tracked while they are offline. Crazy thing is her friend used to do that to me all the time. She passed away. I'm guessing she showed her how to do it.

Or have Alexa listen in on your conversations where I constantly hear beep beep from my echo. Talk about invasion of privacy. So, i cuss her out and yell at her all the time.

Humans can be quite cruel even in a virtual space. It would be nice to have AI's running around your sim interacting. I love building an urban city that is alive. Something like this would be nice.

OMG this cracked me up. Can you imagine that. AI, please lock the sim. "I'm sorry Lord, I can't allow you to do that."

Why isn't this a thing? I came across a video on youtube talking about an AI system called Replica. I thought to myself, "How cool would it be to build an avatar implementing a Replica AI brain to chat and function with. Is this a possibility in the future? This would be a total game changer.

I have not made a decision in anything. It's not easy to work hard on something and toss it to the side. This is a huge decision to make and hopefully trying to find a solution. Anyone is welcome to come see. I've removed all my character alts and it's still laggy. http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Embraced/41/103/1993 Warning: Adult Sim
