There is a legitimate use for copybot type tools, such as a creator using it to produce replicas of their own work or someone using it to create a copy of a full perm item when that is allowed by the creator. A journalist presenting a self professed criminal's justifications and in the case of most copybotters, advocacy for committing the crime with the same respect as creators without challenging them or offering editorial comment is not responsible journalism. I agree that a balanced view is a long standing tenant of journalism, when the subjects being covered are things such as political or religious opinions or two sides of a civic issue such as if a road should be built through an historic district. I don't understand why anyone would think responsible journalism is disgusting. You see I have had nice Long Chats with some of the RPG owners in Second Life who supported the Copy-Bot, said Second Life could burn in war they didn't care, but failed to deal with the botter on their sim, and such hostile hate, I wish I could post the logs here myself, either way this is where REVENGE as I talked about takes play some didn't like what they were doing so they got griefed for supporting the CopyBot which personally I don't care they were asked privately to deal with the mess before it got out of hand and exposed on Unofficial forums and blogs, what comes after because some absolutely hate CopyBots is not my problem.Īlso as I believe I said Earlier, no one is clean, no one is an angel, even your Anti Griefers, and Copy-Bot hunters have dark secrets, and break the TOS in one way or another same as a CopyBotter.Ī balanced view of an issue is a long standing tenet of journalism, though some are in favor of it and others aren't, and some think objectivity is impossible. I mean there is a difference between not knowing there is a CopyBot on your RPG sim, and knowing but doing nothing or not caring saying let LL Deal with it, its disgusting, I don't even want to be in the same sim with a Botter if I know they are there. And no sticking CDS, or Red Zone there is just Spyware, I don't use either one because they are both garbage, I use my eyes ears, and investigate reports manually to deal with such. What would you do.ĭon't get me wrong Second Life, still has a great experience for those just looking to meet, hang out with friends, but those who are like me into hardcore RPG experience, and Combat, most of this is gone from SL now nothing to return to, and even if I did, I want to be in a place that doesn't allow CopyBotting Scumbag griefers. Imagine as a merchant waking up one day to find your entire inventory purged. Although Second Life does offer good content, and well things you can't do in other MMO's for the most part its not worth the money or time IMO I still login once in awhile Check friends see whats going on I might return some day when we get clean community in SL and less griefers, I love SL, but can't stand the lack of security either there is no reason LL shouldn't have been able to restore my inventory, or have secondary authintication in place, especially now after all the Phising, Hacking, Brute Force attempts we need better security to protect us. I really don't even bother with Second Life anymore after I see what garbage SL has become, how much has changed since I first start SL in 2008, it just isn't worthit all the griefers, RP sims who are afraid to stand up to CopyBotters, and even playing in their community you play around a CopyBotter it disgusts me, I only support SL for the artists, and merchants who are left, and as a social hangout, although the most of my time is now spent in actual MMO-RPG games like Second Life, and becoming more realistic SL wise such as EVE, Guild Wars 2, Entropia, or DarkFall, and actually on RP Community who are 100% Clean and legit.
Sadly, there are holier-than-thou types here who would cast you into the depths of you know where for doing so.
so you do a little bit of this and a little bit of that and now you have a mod version. and you're left with a product that no longer works. Sometimes you legitimately buy an object and it works just fine. I don't think this question is stupid.Īnd there's another reason for using copybot or other permissions breaking techniques
Some to rip off items and resell them as their own, some to use the items for themselves, others because they think it gives them power and boosts their egoes, some do it to "prove" they're smarter than others to get round safe guards against it, others because they think everything in SL be free and they will go on about the virtual economy and how offensive it is to pay for pixels. From copybotters I've known, there are different reasons they do it.
