DISQUS

They tried to make money with promises for service they can't deliver. All the people currently unhappy from CopyBot's are actually unhappy because of LL's unhold promises - protected IP in a digital world - bullshit!

This explains quite well the situation. I hope more SL citizens will really understanding that. Every average developer developer/geek should already have understood the problem just after asking the question "where is the data rendered?" It is so simple to see it. If it wasnt copybot, it would be some other piece of code that would do the job. It is better to know the truth, rather than to be happy with closed to the problems eyes. SL citizens, dont worry, SL has just got a bit of RL feel. 

I guess, there is a ton of irony here.  And, I don't get it. I have the feeling that the libsl project members are now trying to tell us that this is fixable. "libsecondlife member John Hurliman said in a statement on the group’s blog. “We, the libsecondlife developers, recognize that we must be more vigilant about controlling our creations — we are deeply sorry for any part in the damage which may have been caused.” In my understanding, anything that can be rendered, can be copied too. So, the residents and media have to get used to this situation - anyone can copy (just like ctrl-c, ctrl-v in the browser), or just like anyone can copy and produce duplicate clothes in RL. The problem is purely social and philosophical, according to me.
