  1. there are a number of us looking for an answer to your question. i suggest people really read the question as one of the posts (answers) suggests that the question asks where to find where you can get stolen content and that is not what is being asked here. but rather to find where the info is regarding the takedown. I agree as i would like validation that this is the case. When we first heard of this one of our group members told us they had called marvel comics to inquire about this and was told they had no idea where this was coming from. We are following up to verify that the call was made and the response to it, as we do want to be compliant with trademarks and such. Again please be careful when replying to be sure you are accurate in your statements inaccurate replies not only hurt but they are misleading and can cause a lot of damage.
  2. I just read this even though it is an older discussion i wanted to respond because it's so timely. With the holiday season here people everywhere are wanting to do what they can to help out. We do fundraisers for orginizations and have asked ouselves the same question. How do we know that the orginization we are working with in second life is legit. Certainly we do not want to work with someone or a group that is not "legit" but how do you tell. What we have done in the past was suggested by another poster to this thread. We verify with the organization in rl. we also research the organization ahead of time as in us all non profits must publish their financials and make avail to the public. this way we know where our money is going and how it is used. We also have a habit of asking organizers to provide us with "verifiable proof" of their association with the particular charity. This is not just them giving us copies of an email or a copy of a conversation. Our preferred verification is something on letterhead with a phone number that we can verified that they have registered with the organization. transfer documentation is all fine and good but as was stated earlier can be altered. recipets from the organization is much better as these can be verified. In cases where reciepts are not given it is just a matter of making a call to an organization to see if they recieved a donation from an organization, if you explane that you are verifying that a group is legitimate they are usually pretty good about verification, while they can tell you a group is in good standing they cannot disclose how much was given. It is a risk you take when dealing with any fundraising group. okay i have been wordy enough sorry. bottom line is do your research just as y ou would in real life.
