  1. I'm not sure how difficult rigging is in blender but things like Maya take 5 or 10 minutes to rig. I understand someone making a spiderman avatar and someone ripping it is the same thing, ripping is just more of a joke to me because that person will make the same or more money 20 minutes ripping and rigging than a creator that spent a week or more with something similar. And ripping is obvious, it doesn't look pretty and the textures don't transfer well in a rip. But sadly people still buy it and thus support it. I've tried to report to Blizzard and other companies but sadly I think they get so many that I'm not sure they even look at them. I know things like Manticore and LostGem had dozens of people reporting them but they still have their own sims and are thriving. Thanks for the replies though guys, felt good to talk about it I will continue to try and contact the original owners and hope they report it to LL.
  2. This is more of a discussion and I apologize if I have put it into the wrong topic on the forums. Ripped mesh is truly an issue, people are making money off of not just copyright work. They are stealing the entire work, which is far worse in my eyes than say someone who has copyright infringement with making a spiderman avatar they built from scratch. I suppose my question or discussion is if there are other ways to report ripped mesh besides having to contact the owner for copyright infringement? Am I missing anything? I would think something like taking a screenshot of the same object they stole the mesh from would be good enough. (Seriously, I could log into League of Legends, WoW, Tera, and likely get 100s and 100s of products proven to be ripped by just logging in these games and screeshotting those mesh objects) It actually HURTS the secondlife market, and original creators. When people have to search through 7 pages of ripped mesh clothing to find good original mesh clothing and they are more likely to go "I guess there's only ripped stuff" and buy that instead. I believe LL is not taking the ripped mesh issue as seriously as they should and I have read many times over of creators growing frustrated and tempted to leave or put their mesh work elsewhere when their honest selling is outnumbered or shadowed by ripped products. And OBVIOUS ripped products at that. The fact that so many ripped mesh stores are still here since day one and even have sims for their stolen product is mind boggling to me. If there were another option to report ripped mesh than just a copyright infringement option and needing to get someone of Blizzard to send all the proof of owning the product and it would help clear out the ripped products. With less ripped products on SL and it would be easier to find and buy/support the original creators who actually bust their ass to create amazing things for us all.Wanted to see other's opinions and if there is anyway we could try to suggest a screenshot in the video game option for reporting "ripped mesh" instead of 'copyright infringement'
