It does seem today that 3 wrongs DO equal 1 Right.

If this is not desired. Fix it.

As the below repost clearly shows, I asked for no unilateral actions to be taken toward ANY PARTY, except POSSIBLY MYSELF in terms of a public listing.

IF only ASKING for Feedback and SUGGESTING actions is good for the Rezzable Goose, then I assume I’m fine and Gander.

“It’s the same mentality that goes into terrorism”
Frankly it is.

Bettina- since you want to invoke heaven and hell;)I suggest more pragmatism.

if you want to find a non diety “purpose” to “our” group. Then call for a voteable “sanction” or “tossing” of Rezzable within our group, Their website posted “argument” for a “release” 2 is offensive and if released as is – destructive to many who create IP as a profession and whom participate in an economy of the c/m/t managnemt system of IP online.

IP expressed in SL DRM is the(a) core of the NPIRL group, is it not?.;)

Ill assume after all this, Rezable will copy the DRM system of SecondInventory or decide NOT to release as zais has in the current described product form. Then at best this will appear as a failed “promotion” for a “new” 100$ product that has some needs for some. but also has competing products with the same proper backup capabilities.

Either way. FEAR and the threat of Extortion should not be permitted to be “proper” PR for any ethical creative group member. should it?

your group. my suggestion.:)
others in the group should voice their opions as well…if the attitudes voiced by RAR are dominant, please remove my name from the group.

o your goal is not 100 percent deterrence, but better deterrence than we have now, so you do what you can and don’t give up due to lack of 100 percent closeability

o no one has demonstrated that such authenticating makes servers load slower or slows down the entire grid — this is one of those urban legends that code kiddies tell without any scientific proof “just because”. WoW does this and WoW doesn’t lag lol

o er, WoW does this, and it doesn’t have to hire thousands of coders, or somehow cripple itself to get the job done. It collects $15.95 from every player per month, it has 18 million users, it gets the job down. We need to stop hearing incessantly from whiney kids about how this can’t be done and is technologically impossible, and start assembling the data to make it possible and convince the Lindens

o they are hobbled by the Stallmanites in their own ranks and are split themselves — and Rob Linden tiresomely making long arguments on the wiki as to why you can’t do this, driven by his opensource ideology, has to be overridded so that other voices with alternatives can not only be heard, but try these things out

o Dale Innis and Zha Ewry need to be muted, as they continue to interrupt this conversation from the hugely powerful position of the hugely self-interested IBM, and that needs to be stopped – -get their pressure out of this discussion so it can be had free of ideology, greed, and politics, to the extent possible to verify its technical points

o there is nothing wrong with experimenting and trying different things.

o I find it the height of hypocrisy for Rezzable and their groupies to claim that it’s ok to let ripping code into the wilds like this because nobody will be smart enough to use it much as it’s too technical, and yet not apply the very same principle of technical obfuscation to make it possible so fewer people DO steal. It’s the biggest hold in their argument and I would keep accentuating it

o stop looking to the music industry for justification of Stallmanism, as it isn’t even being portrayed correctly. Last time I looked you still have to pay for i-tunes that you can’t just download for free. It may have been reasonable to remove DRM from the equations these companies had to deal with, where they had captive audiences with their i-pods dominating the market anyway, and where the issue was enabling the user to make multiple copies to different devices

WE DON’T HAVE THAT PROBLEM IN SECOND LIFE BECAUSE YOU CAN ENDLESSLY COPY BUT STILL KEEP DRM NOT TO TRANSFER DUH.

I had that epiphany myself literally in the last week as I reflected on it, and it shows that once you start thinking about this problem freely, without the cant of the opensource shill, you begin to find your way.

Each one of those forms of media didn’t “disappear” but remained, and was built upon.

Each next form of media began exactly following the format of the previous one and not realizing the full capacity. Why does Walter Conkrite sound so sonorous? Because he’s reading for radio, he doesn’t yet realize he’s on TV (in the early days) and it sticks.

Each one of these media formats copies earlier formats, but the idea that one puts the other out of business belongs only to our age. The person who drove the horse and buggy moved over to driving the car — he merely had less horseshit to clean up now. The horses were ridden more for pleasure or sent to the glue factory but no one was put out of business. The saddle maker could make bucket seats.

No artist lost his job because photography came on the scene; portrait arists and painters remain to this day.

Nothing that you say is in fact true. Media does not displace other media, and even when it does, it doesn’t put people out of work UNLESS you are Clay Shirky and say it should, or unless you are 101 other geek bolsheviks claiming that everything except their consulting fees and government grants should be liberated.

Nobody “yells and screams” when technology changes because it doesn’t move as fast as you came. The newspapers are still in their newstands. I still pick up letters at the mail box, and there are still people taking buggy rides in the city where I live.

When people want to portray technology as “accelerating” or “putting somebody out of business” it’s usually because they want more power for their own class of people and want to egg on something that isn’t in fact accelerating as they’d like.

Yes, journalists have been thrown out of work. They found jobs in government, PR, and education where maybe they belonged all along.

The idea that we’re supposed to create, and just let creations be ripped and then just make new stuff is some gerbil-on-a-wheel idea that some corporation has saddled you with. We need do nothing of the kind. There are tools to stop theft. There are policies that can be put in place. Man up, and stop demanding that other people be put out of business so that you can gloat about your techocommunist theories.

… “they merely create a pale imitation of that which they wish [they] could have created themselves. It is ‘time’ we should fear, not rippers. So what if someone copies something we did in the past… it’s what we create NEXT that matters most.”
