How To Copy Objects In Second Life

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

The practice of illegally copying or cloning objects in Second Life is a very big issue that should be taken seriously but there are merchants and creators specially in SLExchange who does not believe or do they care about this issue. In one thread, a creator and a merchant posted her case on content theft. She found one of her creations copied prim-per-prim and texture-per-texture and that can only be done by using a third party program. Fortunately, a DMCA complaint was filed with Linden Labs and it looked like the original creator won but what pissed me off is the fact that many argued that it isn’t possible and that CopyBot no longer exist.

An object owned by Korena Starbrook was copied and was being distributed for FREE! :(

Okay, there might not be anymore CopyBot programs out there but you don’t need a program named CopyBot to copy objects in Second Life. All you need is LibSecondLife’s Test Client and you can get that by downloading and installing LibSecondLife. LibSecondLife is the heart of almost all text based Second Life viewers out there which are commonly known as SL Bots. (more…)

Things an SL Bot can do for you!

Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

Most people will say that bots are just good for camping. Well, they are indeed good for camping but, come on, be creative. There are other things you can do with an SL Bot and I found out about it when I attended Thoys Pan SL Bot Owners Meeting. The meeting isn’t really a meeting but it was like a show and tell kind of a meeting. SL Bot owners came to, well, show off their bots and there was a contest too for the most original bot. The prize was 1,000L$ or a new registered bot to your name.

I know there are many SL Bot owners in Second Life and many of them are land owners or estate owners too. Yeah, you heard that right, land owners. They use bots to camp on their own land to increase traffic. I’m not sure if I had mentioned this somewhere but I once encountered a resident who told me that he was buying 100 bots and he will use them to increase his land traffic and then sell it at a higher price. Well, that’s one thing bots can do for you. Is there anything else?

Well, at the meeting, I took the opportunity to browse around Thoys Pan’s office and there were signs inside his building showing some of the things what an SL Bot can do for you (see photos). (more…)

Camping @ Korea Orientation

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

The name of the sim is Korea Orientation but the place is called UTOZ. Well, I don’t know what UTOZ means or what it stands for although I did try to search UTOZ in google and I did find there website which is www.utoz.net but it did me no good because the site is in Korean.

Anyway, there are some camping spots here that pays 2L$ per 10 minutes. I also noticed that most of those that camp there had the basic Second Life avatar appearance. I’m not sure but my guess is that they are bots (see screenshots).
