Sara Nova Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 If I ever find a copybot viewer, is there any chance I could get banned if I use it just to customize some attachments I have that are no-mod? I would never of course sell or even give away for free anything I copy. Might I add that I have not done this, nor do I even have a copybot viewer. I'm just wondering if doing so could get me banned. I'm pretty sure it would, but I'm asking here just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McGregor Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 As long as you use that viewer to make backups / copies of stuff you created yourself you have nothing to worry about. If you copy somebody elses stuff, you need explicit permission from them. If you copy somebody elses stuff and you don't have their explicit permission to do so, you are liable to be reported and banned. I think that also counts when not redistributing or sharing your copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidnella Riler Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 you are really writing this post to stir things up a bit? maybe got bored in your SL nite, I m sure you did write this as a joke, using your ALT ofcourse and needing some attention, but anyway, yes Copybot is against the TOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leia36 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Contact the creator, usually if you are polite they will help and even if they charge you a few hundred L$, whats worth more, your account or a few $ RL money?...easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amethyst Jetaime Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 You do not 'own' the item, only a license to use it. The creator owns all rights still and can set any license terms they wish when they sell items in SL. That license can be the permission system and/or any other terms that creator published. You agreed under the TOS to this arrangement when you created your account and you agreed to the item in question being no mod when you bought it. You cannot now decide that you don't like the terms and ignore them. So yes you can get banned for this. In addition to being banned, you could also be taken to RL court for violating the creators IP rights and have a world of trouble in RL as a result.

Porky Gorky Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Some copybot based viewers that are available today will leave a host of nasty suprises on your computer once you have installed it. Apparently honour amongst thieves no longer exists for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pussycat Catnap Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 This is like asking if its ok to use drugs if you only use them to feed them to your own kids... Just think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara Nova Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 SID Riler, this account started off as an alt, hence the name, but now I use it as my main account. I wish I could change the name. Also, I would think modifying an item I purchased (a license to) even if it says "no modify" would be considered fair use, as long as I'm not making any money off of it, or preventing the creator from doing the same. Of course the TOS is another issue entirely, since I am still using Linden Lab's service, but in practice do they really take action against people using things like that as long as they aren't doing so unfairly? Basically, even if it is technically against the rules, would they actually do anything about it, so long as I'm not negatively affecting anyone else?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood. or Can one also get away with it when complying to your motives and actions as you described ? Sure.

I saw what Grim did to push the boundaries of adventure games, but by the time that came out I was late 20's and didn't really care for those types of games any more. I was more into shooters and RPG's then. From a personal enjoyment standpoint, and a standing the test of time standpoint, Baldur's Gate II is the best game of all time IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping floppies ( Insert program disk / Insert save disk / Insert disk 1 / Insert disk 2 / Insert disk 20 ) and and envying capatalists who owned harddrives that had a staggering 100 MB storage capacity. And then Monkey Island asks you to insert disk 144 ( which no one had ) when entering a hidden passage through a tree trunk. But there's no disk. So everyone was required to cancel. And of course because of the game's title only, everyone went nuts about what was inside that tree trunk. Hilarious then. Unimaginable now.
