[Opensim-dev] Copybot .

[Michel Beauregard]

Mike , 

"Furthermore, the main threat in opensim, the problem
of copybotters, the devs do absolutely nothing about, so you cannot claim
to be protecting us against a nonexistent threat when you are doing nothing
about a real threat."

 Threat level might be imperfect but its done and needed a lot of effort to come up with.  I think our developer merits  our respect and gratitude for that effort and for the work that allow us to experience opensim. One must recognize the creativity put in securing  HG travellers with Diva suitcase inventory segregation as example . 

In my view you asking a lot of these people to  tackle  copybot effectively. The army of SL staff would love to find a solution to this problem too. Copybot  is part of bigger issue in the same category as  copy web content or TV broadcasting or film by streamers or song recording or theft of identities.  Opensim alone cant solve that , even RL industries  cant shave it off . According to Forbes Inventory Shrink Cost the US Retail Industry alone  $46.8 Billion in 2018.
