Annie Rubanis Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Hi, I've got a question just out of curiosity. When surfing the marketplace looking for hair, I notice many people selling what is obviously stolen hair creations. I've seen copied Catwa, Truth and others for sale there. Doesn't anyone watch this stuff or is it up to the original content creator to be vigilant and police the marketplace for this? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinity Yazimoto Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Drake, she wont find anything with search in the forum, since they delete every thread about this topic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LepreKhaun Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Searching for the term "stolen" shows only 7 previous threads in this forum, with the last being made back in February. None of them address the issue of stolen hair creations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those few that don't know, you report the items in question to the creator. They are the only ones that can do a damn thing about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LepreKhaun Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Only the original creater of an item can diresctly address a theft of their IP. Since there are millions of items listed on the Market Place and one can assume creaters may be too busy creating than to have time to be policing the listings, it would be appropriate to contact the obvious creater to point out possible infringements that you come across.

Micah Kalinakov Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 People talk a lot about copybotting. If you are interested in fighting CB in SL then I suggest you join Flickr and search for groups that deal with copybotting. Just search "Copybot" or variations of it and you'll find groups where people post pictures of copybotted stuff on the MP or even avatars in world. The best thing to do though, is to contact the creator through notecard. I found a MP store once filled with CB hair from all different places. I made a notecard for each and every store that had hairs that I could recognize, and put links to those pages in the notecard, along with a little note for the creator and sent them off. I think I sent about 17 nc's and many creators were very thankful. CB is a serious problem in SL and needs to be talked about so kudos for noticing it.
