Petal Baily Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 hello everyone, As a firm believer in playing by the rules when it comes to mesh/copyright to ensure the market is fair for all content creators and having come across products on the marketplace that are blatant replicas of real celebrities and such, which I am sure this is a violation according to the mesh registration, or am I incorrect? What should I do about it? I do try to flag as many copybotted and violating products as possible to help but I am unsure of what category to flag such products as, such as this, angelina jolie :)https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/48745 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaguely resemblant maybe (and clumsily done in my opinion). There is a looooong way to go before it is actually blatant. If flagging this kind of stuff is your pastime, go ahead. Chances are good that this will be ignored. Plus, I do not see Angelina Jolie's name anywhere in these items descriptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monti Messmer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Self promoted sherrifs and peeps telling me they always play by the rules .... Anyway they must use copyrighted names or parts that look exactly like copyrighted material. In this case none of both so you better move on for the next.

LlewLlwyd Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 HELL! Angelina Jolie doesn't look like Angelina Jolie most of the time. ***This advert is sponsored by Airbrush Inc, PhotoShopping International and FantasyGirl Cosmetic Surgery (2014)*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Midnight Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 If something is being marketed as a celebrity likeness that would clearly be unethical, but something that bears a passing resemblance without mentioning any names should be fine. Please note, I am not lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not intentional. However, maybe you could flag the item for a blatant replica of the Omega watches logo! ... Nah, kidding!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is indeed and it never ceases to amaze me that even some of the most notable participants in our discourses fail to observe this rule. Contextual utilization of colourful and colonial terminology and grammar is acceptable, either to emphasize specific argument or to strengthen our forum's relaxed and casual general atmosphere, but should always be placed within quotation marks and, if appropriate, be immediately succeeded by a relevant emoticon.
