Inventory Backup aka CopyBot

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

I stumbled upon this website today while searching for more information about content theft in Second Life. This particular website features and sell a program named Inventory Backup. It uses the term backup but it’s actually nothing more than a copybot program because a true backup tool will only allow you to make backup copies of content you created.

One of the selling point made by this particular program is that it is legal and was approved by Linden Lab’s legal team.

Monday, August 10th, 2009

When I discovered the CryoBan Script by Leah Mayo at AnnOtoole’s Forum, That Other Life. I immediately replaced the simple Cryo Detection Script that I got from Second Life Herald with it. Being a content creator myself, I am also very much concern about protecting my creations and I am very much sure that other creators feel the same way as well. With this in mind, I immediately sent the script through a group notice to my groups, 3 Stars and a Sun and www.KABALYERO.com, and to 7Seas Builders Group. My only mistake was, I sent the script NO MOD and not FULL PERMS.

Today, I discovered an update to the CryoBan Script by Leah Mayo and, again, thought of sharing it to all my groups and to 7Seas Builders Group but when I opened the Notices tab there was another notice about the CryoBan Script. The notice was sent by Grey Nacht in response to my notice and it reads: (more…)
