My point was that LL must have really REALLY WON Eros vs Linden Research Inc, not to care about incidents of copy-botting AT ALL. LL must have won...</p>
<p>I don't think it's so much that LL doesnt care (and I agree with you, they DON'T). It's more that they won and have no reason to care...I suppose. No one ever mentioned how that case really went.</p>Alicia commented on 'Second Life Veterans Miss the World's Wild West Days of Creative Anarchy'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef026be40d8f2f200d2020-09-01T15:26:00Z2020-09-01T15:26:00ZAlicia"One last thing.

<p>You really think LL gives a crap about that case, Jumpman? If they did, then copy-bot would've been taken out to pasture years ago. Instead, they did absolutely nothing, and look at all the people who are literally copy-botting from people like Blueberry, etc. That, alone should tell you that LL truly doesn't give a rats ass about its users/creators unless the issue is enough for them to become the "Mary Sue's" they've always been.</p>Adeon Writer commented on 'Second Life Veterans Miss the World's Wild West Days of Creative Anarchy'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0263e96172d6200b2020-09-01T15:08:35Z2020-09-01T15:08:35ZAdeon Writer> One last thing.

Rather, I thought folks were just too scared to mess with me, personally...nowadays. That, and Linden Lab WON the war against organized griefer groups, such as Woodbury and The PN. D3adly Codec, an erstwhile leader of The Patriotic...uh..WHATEVERS were absolutely enemies. We hounded each other until his dying breath. Oh yeah he DIED and Prokofy Neva contacted the funeral home to make sure. </p>
<p>Second Life is more relevant today due to covid than it was say 3 years ago. Many people are returning. I came back because even though I socialized on Discord in another game (Elder Scrolls Online) AND I found that such socializing was necessary to my sanity, I came back because if all I was going to be doing is sitting around socializing with folks I could do that BETTER in Second Life. ESO is BROKEN. SL works better than it ever has (for me) because I play SL on a gaming rig now. In the past I always built computers for SL slightly above recommended spec. My computer now is over kill for SL.</p>
<p>One last thing. It's ODD that copy-bot is still around after all these years.

It was a shared canvas for us, a dreamscape, if you will. Some of the creativity I witnessed in the early years with a limited toolbox was truly breathtaking.</p>
<p>There are very few experiences in my life that I can say significantly changed *who I am*, but being involved in Second Life in the early days was one of those experiences. I owe a great debt for that to those who made up that community, including the author of this blog. Leonard Nimoy's final tweet comes to mind: "A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory.

Lindens playing inworld. Thats as rare today as seeing Bigfoot or unicorns. Yes, those were the days</p>
