I design in SL as art, why would you want to copy someone else's art. I have given away more gowns than I will ever sell in SL. My line sells only to pay for my land and tools so I can continue to create. I have never in the last 5 years pulled money out of SL, if I was ever in the positive... My money went to support my favorite places in SL since I started playing SL, to hosts, DJs and back to my group. So yesterday I found out that a well known copy botted company inSL copy botted my design. It was a gown that I spent over 40 hours creating,with hand placed textures (over 1000). As the creator, I'm disappointed with SL for allowing this business to continue. And Second, disappointed that someone would copy another persons idea.

Good news, my boyfriend is a lawyer and I will press legal actions and my line is in the process of bring copy righted.

What do you do when someone copies your unique creations, because you hand placed each texture to create the gown?
