Well not a literal one, but the one that has been shaking SL lately involving the copyright infringement. Absolutely everyone is panicking and feeling kinda edgy. Designers are feeling underappreciated and try to do everything that is in their power to protect their creations. Some feel they are the next ones on the thieves' list, whilst others are even scared that they are going to be falsely accused for copying at one point or another. One person (not a designer) even accused me of harassment. And I have never even uttered a single word to her, nor remember seeing her. Talking bout brain damage. That's how far this has gone.
The protests haven't helped much. All the stolen items are up in the thieves' stores again, just like nothing has happened. Still he is in denial and thinks that he is going to get away with it. I spent all day long in front of one of his stores, until I decided to do my favorite thing - SHOP. I went to MM Skins, got lashes, skin, a dress and picked up some demos. I mean, you can protest as much as you want to, but this is just going to show that you are concerned about the issue, that you do give a S@#& and that you want its resolution as soon as possible. The people that are affected the most by this are the designers. They are the most vital part of SL. Their creations are the building block of SL. And yet all their effort is taken for granted. So if you really support these people, if you want to show your appreciation, just go to your favorite store/mall and SHOP TILL YOU DROP!!! And then you can take a break by going and protesting and show off your brand new ORIGINAL look.
