Bubba Biberman Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I am a merchant who sells mainly wristwatches. Last month while I was taking pictures of some new models I received IMs from an avatar who claimed to have copied the watches, demanding money to prevent widespread distribution of free copies.I filed an abuse report, banned and muted this avatar. He returned as an alt and repeated the threats, claiming to have copied additional merchandise. Since reporting, banning and muting the second alt he has attempted to contact me through third parties on four occasions.His actions are in retaliation for me banning him from a popular hangout for extremely rude behavior towards women. During communication with him I found him to be a huge liar who would say anything. Because of that I am not completely convinced that this person actually copied the watches. I demanded to see the copies but he has not produced any. Nonetheless, his avatar is over a couple years old and seems fairly capable. So my question is: Has anyone received a new free watch lately? The copybotted models are men's silver watches, mesh, with black faces and silver hands. They look like https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Heavy-Mesh-MB413-for-Men-with-Stopwatch-from-Watch-Shop-Watches/4268322 and https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Heavy-Mesh-Watch-MX39-with-animated-gears-stopwatch-and-more/4145425 If you have seen any free or low price copies, please contact me.It's my understanding that scripts cannot be copied, only prims and textures. At least I can take some comfort knowing that the copied watches are broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran Laval Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 There have been many reports of extortion, his excuse for copybotting you is just that, an excuse, there are many reports of similar issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Boyle Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Report him to the RL police. Extortion is a felony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfBaginski Bearsfoot Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I'm impressed by your work, and just bought a watch from you, but I must admit that all the animated doohickies seem a bit superfluous on a wristwatch in SL. That thieving scumbag doesn't need the scripts to have something that would be worth selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
