Unhappy So I talked to one of my copybotters

I have a lot of copybotters. At the moment I believe around at least six seperate people have cloned a few or most of my products. I generally give this little care; my content relies on scripting that would take skill and substantial effort to replicate, most products are rather complicated with changing parts that are very fiddly to work with.

However seeing the rifle I just spent 250,000L on having retextured on Slexchange for 400L from some random person tries my patience, which is a bad thing as I have no patience.

[15:09] Nixon Mills: becuase i bought it for 40000L$
[15:10] Eata Kitty: Did you not notice how it was covered in Breach logos
[15:10] Nixon Mills: no i go and look to it now
[15:10] Nixon Mills: wait a second
[15:11] Eata Kitty: There are four breach markings on the gun
[15:12] Nixon Mills: but what is the problem because you sound like you didn't know that your gun was out in SL
[15:12] Nixon Mills: i saw it at an other place to but that could be your shop
[15:13] Nixon Mills: did you not give it away with all the permission to somebody?
[15:14] Eata Kitty: Yeah sure I always give my stuff out for other people to sell
[15:14] Nixon Mills: so how is it possible then?
[15:15] Eata Kitty: Copybot?
[15:16] Nixon Mills: the creator is unknow
[15:16] Nixon Mills: i only see BA on the scope
[15:16] Nixon Mills: is that your logo?
[15:16] Eata Kitty: The bolt face says Breach Armory, the side of the weapon with the calibre says BREACH CO
[15:17] Nixon Mills: ah yes now i see it
[15:17] Nixon Mills: copy what most i do with it?>
[15:18] Nixon Mills: because i didn't copy it
[15:18] Nixon Mills: i bought it for a big price
[15:18] Eata Kitty: If thats true, you got scammed
[15:19] Nixon Mills: yes but i don't know if that person have copy it or not you know so....
[15:19] Nixon Mills: because he told me he got it from a friend who made it and he had his permission
[15:19] Nixon Mills: and i askted that friend and he was ok with it to and say that he made it
[15:20] Nixon Mills: but i don't have his name and i don't have a reccort of payment of him
[15:21] Nixon Mills: is it realy a problem that i have it in my shop?>
[15:22] Eata Kitty: This is my living. What do you think?
[15:23] Nixon Mills: then i think that's realy strange that everybody can copy your weapons and that i can have them with full permission
[15:23] Nixon Mills: can you nothing do about that then?
[15:24] Eata Kitty: With lawyers yes
[15:25] Nixon Mills: i'm now at your shop but i see a few diffrents between the rifles
[15:25] Nixon Mills: they are not the same
[15:25] Eata Kitty: Thats because the one on sale is newer
[15:25] Nixon Mills: ah ok
[15:26] Nixon Mills: now then i delte the vendors out of my shop
[15:26] Nixon Mills: bad luck
[15:26] Nixon Mills: verry good work anyway from you
[15:27] Nixon Mills: but i think there are more shops that sell your weapon
[15:28] Nixon Mills: i saw it a few weeks ago also
[15:31] Eata Kitty: Yes
[15:32] Nixon Mills: i go offline now i deleted them from my shop and from slexchange
[15:32] Nixon Mills: bye
I inspected the gun they gave me. Every prim was created by "michi Faulds". I don't really believe that they paid 40k for it but it's not impossible. I'm not going to chase people up legally because they won't affect my sales and it would be a ton of hassle for a lot of kids who probably live in another country but the whole thing is very tiring
