my.secondlife.com hasn't been working for me since yesterday. I don't see anything in grid status, or anywhere else - just wondering if it's me or something everybody else is experiencing. Any info?

Thanks Amethyst. I'll start contacting the original creators, then ... there are a LOT of them. It's not too much trouble for me to do that, because it's something that I want to see stopped, but I'm sure it's a very tedious task for the creators and takes a lot of time away from them doing what we want them to do. I by no means want to pass the buck to LL and I understand the restrictions on them, too. It's just a nuisance that is interfering with the MP and perhaps a better 'flagging' system can be developed which would allow a one-click report of possible stolen content. Better for everybody, LL included, to stamp this problem out.

I'm sure other people have taken steps to try and prevent this, but it seems to be getting worse, and more prevalent. A search for full perm items on MP throws up pages and pages of 'sellers' who have in fact just stolen full perm items from their creators and are relisting them, sometimes with the original creators' photos. Unless you check the seller name and then check to see if it's the authentic creator, it's very easy to miss these. I have, in the past, flagged items on MP, but now I'm seeing a message that doing this incorrectly is an abuse, so I'm more likely to be locked out of my account than the content thieves! Does anybody have any advice on the preferred way to report these accounts and get rid of them from MP stores as soon as possible?

Thanks for adding the location name - can't see the map slurl but definitely want to visit! Gorgeous pic!
