Okay,...And two years later, I finally have context. Okay, that makes more sense in terms of her personal desire for revenge against Dreamscape, for the imagined ill usage; having gone through something quite similar with someone else at the sim my shop first occupied space, I get that sometimes, crazy people are crazy, and there's just no way to deal with them in any rational fashion.<br /><br />I <i>still</i> think it damages her cause, severely, to copy (replicate, not copybot) some other makers' work, however. Similar architectural styles are one thing, but she did everything she could to make that bridge look <i>exactly</i> like Dreamscape's (only not as good, IMO), then put it up as a freebie to further tarnish <i>his</i> reputation.<br /><br />Yeah. That's a cheap shot and a ploy for attention wrapped up with a bright shiny bow.Emilly Orrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245643246821826101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-20043838012547162182012-03-19T10:12:07.101-07:002012-03-19T10:12:07.101-07:00Some of the textures Abel used/uses are from a fre...Some of the textures Abel used/uses are from a freebie set of textures called Josef's Tear. That set was created for a game that was never released due to the Indonesian tsunami in 2004. (See reference http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=53978) Vryl decided to hold a personal vendetta against Abel because Abel was using these downloaded textures in SL without purchasing them through her which she claims was against copyright. Per the included license by Rich Gionvanni, it states that you may use them as long as you credit him. There was quite a bit of ugliness on this subject, some of which I was drawn into for questioning WHY she would do what she did. I didn't know she had a problem with Abel until I questioned the item in my marketplace comments which she used as an opening to attack me, then remove her comments making it looked like I attacked her, LOL. There was a whole thread on the forums for a while, where she went back and removed comments to make it look like we were all attacking her so she could report us which resulted in suspensions from the forums for limited time. The bridge was built as a personal attack against Abel for using textures she felt he should have paid her for in SL, when the license outside SL clearly stated otherwise. I contacted Rich Giovanni myself for clarification of the license. ~ StarAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-30109814491431248902011-06-23T02:10:03.429-07:002011-06-23T02:10:03.429-07:00I know this is old news but I can shed some light....I know this is old news but I can shed some light.<br /><br />OK the textures you refer (black stone wall types textures) are freebies off the net made by an artist who "V for Vendetta” represents in SL with some of his commercial stuff too.<br />So nothing strange there, you mention seeing some of the textures in 5000 freebie kits (?) <br />95% of textures in these mega packs in SL are illegal and they were derived from many big name texture companies such as 3DTotal.com and MarlinStudios.com<br />PPL get them off torrent sites, upload them to SL and sell or give them. Nothing new there, has always been the case and will continue to be the case, just as it is on the www in general.<br />So, I would imagine the textures that were used in the bridge made by "V For Vendetta” were original and came from a collection she sells as the agent of a hand full of RL artists she represents in SL (she cant make her own after all) so she isn’t using ripped textures.<br />The reason why she has copied (replicated NOT copy botted) Ables stuff and released it onto the market as a freebie is probably because she is attacking him for personal reasons and this is a spite trick.<br /><br />The woman thrives on conflict, aggression, spite, the sound of her own voice and in my opinion no longer knows the difference between fact and fiction the line between the two, at least in her head.<br /><br />Anyone friend or foe who has spent more than an hour in the company of V For Vendetta will know she is emotionally unstable at best and an absolute nut job at worse.<br /><br />Clever in some ways, lies with the truth etc and bloody thick as pig shit on another level (insults pals intelligence with absurd lies and claims)<br /><br />How do I know? Aww, well, she was sweet on me for 3 years...not heard from or about her for a while.. I kinda miss her.<br /><br />LillyBeth FilthAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903264903811389623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2135301473915671680.post-19614648212611245742010-10-10T20:57:03.604-07:002010-10-10T20:57:03.604-07:00There is still one person that I know of, plus an ...There is still one person that I know of, plus an outsourced agency whose name I cannot recall.
