[Opensim-users] Announcement of inventory tool (MyInventory), mostly of interest to grid operators/grid nauts

[Teravus Ovares]

Snowcrash,


"Ultimately I intend to, but right now I have a foundation to lay, in the
form of an inventory and asset store under control of the user rather than
grid operators.",    while I understand what you're trying to do in
concept, I'm not sure why you want to be adversarial to the way things are
currently with content creators.   They're not mutually exclusive..   you
simply need a technical way for content creators to mark the content as
licensed for multigrid distribution and myinventory needs to check for
it.    Content creators could not, previously have foreseen this change in
expectations.   The conflict /isn't/ between users and grid operators..
it's about users and content creators.    I've heard you commonly say,
'wrestling control from grid operators'..    but grid operators do not have
the copyright.    Content Creators do.    Grid operators generally cannot
grant you a license to re-upload the content somewhere else..   the only
entity that can do that is the copyright holder.   It's not Grid Vs
User..   and that's a fundamental misconception with your side of the
debate right now.
