Let me make this ultra clear - there is NO technical solution to this. The data has to be displayed by the viewer, ergo you need to send it to the graphics card completely unobstructed. The solution is not technical, it's legal and social. LL's legally required to respond to a DMCA take down within 7 days, if they dont do that, they are themselves legally liable. That's the method LL should be improving and working on. | |

![]() And ![]() They are already liable. However it takes someone suing LL now to get a precedent on that. | |

Business: Peregrine Salon | Linden Lab is correct (as is Adam) that there is no technical solution. Many of the people complaining to Linden Lab for a technical decision need to look at history, and find a single case in history that DRM (digital rights management) has not been hacked and worked. Those people then need to work together to use their legal means against those breaking law - whether that be a single person, a company, or and internet service provider; at least, that is what the lawyers with the most virtual worlds expertise have been saying: Transcript from Frank Taney's Q&A in Hawthorne - SLOG Regards, -Flip

| MP3's have nothing to do with Second Life anyways. Plus the RIAA does have the money to sue people. Content creators of Second Life don't. Theives can destroy SL and turn everything into a freebie the way its going. Not saying that downloading MP3's isn't wrong here either. |

| Crackpot Vigilante ![]() ![]() | DMCA doesn't really work if you're a Second Life content creator. It works for Sanrio when they see Hello Kitty being recreated, and they can go through the process and get content deleted from SL. If you're in-world, though, you're stuck. If you put legal pressure on Linden Lab when they fail to do more than delete some vendor boxes- not removing the content at all, they will of course freeze your SL account while proceedings, um, proceed. So you have no SL login, no SL income, no way of doing anything. Cutting off your face to spite your nose, ultimately. There's another aspect to this which is worth bearing in mind when mentioning mp3s. If someone has some tracks by U2 or whoever, everyone who hears it still knows it's U2. If someone's skin or clothes or prefab gets ripped off in SL, almost nobody knows who the real creator was, and that's how even honest people end up spending money at the wrong place. It would be like visiting a friend, hearing their mp3s then going away and buying "V3"'s cd. This second scenario is what happens to me and every copy-mod prefab seller. People "put out" our houses on land for sale, allowing the next owner to use them. Landlords pay once, rez 20 times. You accept it because it means your stuff is getting seen, filling the grid. Just like maybe U2 might accept it, because it gets them heard. The people still know who to go to for the original when they want one of their own. |
