Hi guys. When do you think this reason for flagging is acceptable? I want to flag this: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Strawberry-Singh-shape-ModCopy/5014947

They don't have a picture up, so I can't flag as incorrect listing image: like I did for this one: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Strawberry-Singh-shape/4375746

Not that flagging will prolly do anything, LL told me I have to file DMCA, but still, I could try flagging it. Which way do you think I should flag it?

ElleCouerblanc: I'm not sure who it is that is selling them both up there.

Can you guys flag both of them for me too please? Thank you <3

They have been fighting that store forever. He/She makes a new alt and a new store then.

well I've seen cases where if enough people flagged it, LL removes the offending item
Pat Fenis Jun 22, 2013 02:27PM Last edited @

let me flag it too

Thank you!

and DMCAs are a waste of time. A DMCA will force LL to act immediately but if the returns of doing so is low it's better to save your time and energy by just flagging it
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 02:29PM Last edited @

Yeah I am not gonna bother DMCAing. Just gonna flag and hope for the best.

Unfortunately DMCA doesn't cover shapes that's why they do it.
Mavilous Jun 22, 2013 02:44PM Last edited @

You can DMCA a shape thief if they use a pic of yours, and DMCA them for the use of the pic, but not for the shape
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 02:45PM Last edited @

Someone on twitter said that I can't really flag the first link because it may not be a copybotted shape, they could just be using my name to promote a shape they made and since my name is not trademarked
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 02:45PM Last edited @

I can't really flag it then. I dunno, I already flagged it but now I'm stumped. I'm assuming this person copybotted but who knows.

LMAO at the Jeseca Kira shape

Oh wow. That's just crazy.

absolutely
Caroline Apollo Jun 22, 2013 04:05PM Last edited @

flag it anyways? it is harmful and disruptive to have someone using your name
The Elf says Jun 22, 2013 04:06PM Last edited @

strawberrysingh: then you could flag it as "not as advertised" since it suggest it is -your- shape...and then it isn't?
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:07PM Last edited @

You have friends who are Lindens. Why don't you ask them for advice?
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 04:08PM Last edited @

Chestnut: I did, they said I have to file a DMCA.
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:10PM Last edited @

I wonder if he just took everyone's numbers off that "show me your numbers" think a while ago. If so I bet there is nothing anyone could do about it
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:10PM Last edited @

So file a DCMA? what more is there to do?
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:12PM Last edited @

I dont really understand people. Who would do this? Who would buy those shapes?
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 04:12PM Last edited @

yup, can't do much else. I might file one, for now I just flagged it and I'll see. I am not too bothered about it though. Even if it is my shape, whatre they gonna do. Just a shape.
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:15PM Last edited @

Exactly. Even with your shape they will never ever in a million years be you.
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:16PM Last edited @

because you are one of a kind Berry.
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 04:16PM Last edited @

awww ty <3 I'll take that as a compliment even though you might be referring to all the goofy earring swallowing I do.
Chestnut Jun 22, 2013 04:18PM Last edited @

nooooo........I mean it as a compliment. Of course.
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 04:19PM Last edited @

haha well ty then. That same person has a bunch of other people's shapes in their store as well. So can't really tell if they are copybotted or what. But I'm going to flag some of the others there as well.
The Elf says Jun 22, 2013 04:20PM Last edited @

From what I have read they are in fact the copybotted shapes from those unnamed forums.
The Elf says Jun 22, 2013 04:20PM Last edited @

They even try to keep them updated, chasing people down every now and then to update th eshapes, did that with you and several others.
StrawberrySingh says Jun 22, 2013 04:21PM Last edited @

yeah think I'll just flag them all
Pat Fenis Jun 22, 2013 04:23PM Last edited @

lol i doubt any of them are actually copybotted. Most of them look the same. Still giggling at the Jeseca Kira shape
ღ inusweets ღ Jun 22, 2013 04:26PM Last edited @

Nope, they're definately copybotted. Mine is up there, even though it's my "fugly go out shape", because (long story short) I felt like I was going to be targeted, and was :/
ღ inusweets ღ Jun 22, 2013 04:27PM Last edited @

I think some of them just look alike because it's the same skin is used shrug
Pat Fenis Jun 22, 2013 04:29PM Last edited @

oh..yeah I used to be clueless when some ppl used to offer me random TPs but I've learnt not to accept them.
The Elf says Jun 22, 2013 04:31PM Last edited @

Wolfy_Breno: Well, if they pick up the shapes from those forums (and they more than liekly are fromt here since those are the same names offered there for the largest part) they ARE copybotted.
ღ inusweets ღ Jun 22, 2013 04:33PM Last edited @

It's crazy what lengths they'll go to steal a shape...To stalk people at events, send them "random tps", and heck; find their home and rip their shape right off them. Some SLers are craycray.
✿Kirsten✿ Jun 22, 2013 05:38PM Last edited @

Let me know what works. I flagged my shape too from the same store. It is still there, lol.

Dolly Boroque wrote a blog post about it and I totally agreed with her. It was just them using my avatar name that really upset me.
Bella Jun 22, 2013 11:04PM Last edited @

would "Keyword Spam" not be appropriate? Since they are using YOUR names to sell shapes?
