second life copybot

15th November 2006, 07:30 pm

Second Lifescreensnapz007There’s all this hub-bub about CopyBot for second life: a program you can apparently use to copy anything you can see in second life for free. Obviously Linden Lab sees this as a problem for legitimate content creators, and it is… Long term, though, I think this is probably solvable in an ebay/amazon/google sort of fashion. You sign up to become an developer and get handed a developer key that you have to use to interface with the system. That way your application can be tracked if you start manipulating the market. I think the larger possible problem isn’t happening: manipulating the currency directly. Copying an item and doing the legwork to actually sell it is one thing… getting free money without effort is another, and I’m just glad that’s not happening.

OMG, people, please, Linden Lab should not be sued. I think that would be totally insane. Read your terms of service, it limits your ability to sue them because you agree to use the system at your own peril. It’s not real life, folks! Get over yourself!
