Hello, everyone.  Unfortunately, with this journal entry, I am bringing some unsettling news.  I was just alerted by a kind person that some of my models were stolen, and are being offered by a thief in the SecondLife marketplace, for what appears to be a crazy amount of money.  I'm not familiar with SecondLife, so I'm looking for information on how to shut this guy down.  Also, if you are a modeler, you may wanna look around for some of your own stuff, because this guy clearly has a lot of models in his marketplace, and is making money at our expense!  Here's some examples of my free models he has stolen, and reselling:

Starfish Floor Lamp
Dirty Shovel (this one was part of a dirt grave prop I created)
Street Lamp
Bag Chair (he also modified it into a couch, but this is my original bag chair, including all my textures)

He's got a few more of my models in his store, and tons of other quality models which I'm sure he did not create himself!  Better check it for some of your own:

marketplace.secondlife.com/sto…

This guy needs to be reported and shut down immediately.  If anyone has information on how to report this guy, or has contacts at the Linden Research company that might be willing to help, please let me know.  This guy is stealing an making money off our hard work.

hello, i have come across this post in my search for mesh tutorials and such. I was wondering if you had gotten any further in your search to get him out of there but once clicking on the links it doesn't seem so. This is how the greedy lazy people in SL work. It IS against TOS to my knowledge. When you see the $L (Lindens) that is what people buy it with on SL, so that person is then able to "cash out" and make the lindens into real currency. It may be helpful that you just make a character in SL and sign in to the marketplace so you can flag the shit out of the items that are yours to get them removed from that site, however that doesn't really stop him or her from selling in world. I just want to remind you that not all of SL is like this, there are some great artists and people who actually find posts like this that are just trying to learn ♥
