Seicher Rae Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) I have not verified this personally, but a blog reports that Genus is back. ETA: It is true. The region is swamped. Edited July 4, 2020 by Seicher Rae 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Good to know. Not that I plan to buy Genus stuff right away, but I am glad they got their IP assault resolved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritigern Gothly Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It is indeed true. I had been following the official Genus discord for a while now, and last night they (the owners of the Discord server) announced that the shutdown was lifted!

Seicher Rae Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 What I thought was strange is that according to the blog article (in the OP), neither Genus NOR Linden Lab knows who made the complaint! Still! Wow. I'd think "lawsuit" would be in order due to the loss of revenue Genus had for being shut down for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 It's just really good to see them back.. I honestly never had any doubts cross my mind about them.. Just always felt it was a matter of time before they would be back..The length it took between updates wasn't something that smelled of that kind of thing..There was a lot of work behind the heads.. I'm just glad they are sorted this far and hope they can sort the rest with whomever did this to them.. It's just really good to have them back and to see such a huge rush for their product.. It's a good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregorian Chant Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) This is great news and I'm glad to see them back. They were working on a male head and I'm looking forward to its release. When that day comes... Edited July 5, 2020 by Gregorian Chant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BelindaN Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 For me, Genus is simply me. I've tried some of the others. None give me the shape I need. Lelutka was closest. LAQ not so bad. I really tried with Catwa, but I just can't get the overall look, even though the Catwa hud is amazing. So I am delighted Genus are back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 So does that mean I can get the free head now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Lelutka and do not see a reason to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aethelwine Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I would really like to know why it took 3 months for the dispute to be settled, especially as the article says Linden Lab are saying they don't know who originated the take down request. The form requires a real name, surely the first thing they should do is check the name is genuine. After the first 10 days, assuming a counter claim made, then the stuff should be back on sale unless there are proceedings in a court... which would require a real name too.

Kia Kiyori Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Its the best news ever, isn't it? Was so excited when I found out (and there were 68 people in their store! ) that I couldn't sleep and didnt care 19 minutes ago, Aethelwine said: I would really like to know why it took 3 months for the dispute to be settled... My understanding is that it wasn't settled and never went to court and the reason they're back is because, legally, if it hasn't been to court within 10 business days (or whatever the legal requirement was), they have to be allowed to return to business as usual. Meanwhile, the culprit who started it all is still in hiding and remains unknown, although I also understand Anna will be investigating to discover who was behind it. Whatever their reason, all they succeeded in doing was making Genus more popular and in demand than ever before, so I reckon that's a kind of justice all on its own, if not a bit of karma.

And the culprit who lodged the complaint caused a lot of grief to the other head makers with false accusations flying all around. I do remember for a bit in some groups that Catwa was taking the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does it say that Linden Lab doesn't know that? The article says that "we" (the readers) and "they" (Genus) don't know; I doubt that Linden Lab would have done anything without a name. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Wylder Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I was able to get into the store and get the free head and a free skin that they also have out. Now to see if I can make the genus strong head look enough like me to merit wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the Strong head since before the DCMA thing hit, but all kinds of circumstances and distractions made it so I never played with it, or with making a shape for it. Last night I finally did, and this is what I have so far (still needs some tweaking here and there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Voxel Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I’m waiting on that update that is supposed to be coming out. Supposedly few fixes in there. But for 3300, I might go back in for a 2nd strange or the other Classic. That price is too good to pass up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of groundless Nasty flying around but Genus will find out who was behind it and then - hopefully - will be able to let everyone know so it can stop.

SpiritSparrow Skydancer Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Why bother "finding" out who is behind it? Just move on.. They are back up put your pitchforks away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
