SL4 Portal

Before I start, I would just like to say thanks to Kalel for showing me the truth.  I normally place a more tag into my blog, but this one will be in full.  Comment if you like.

Ok, so there I was in Sandbox Island (NO COMBAT), I was in IM and minding my own business (tbh, I am having work done on my exchange and have a really bad connection atm).  When all of a sudden I had an alert from my QHUD:

[20:31:31]  quantum core: 2010-02-05 04:31:50 : Kalel Venkman USED PHYSICAL SCRIPTED blaster ball in Sandbox Island

Of course the name rang a bell.  Was it a bird?  Was it a plane?  No it was just another avatar breaking the rules by using weapons on Sandbox Island.  Of course, I followed the correct procedure and filed an Abuse Report:

That done, I then proceeded to IM Kalel and tell him/her not to shoot me.  Here is the chat log:

– Instant message logging enabled –

[20:35:36]  Tux Winkler: Do not shoot at me

[20:36:07]  Kalel Venkman: The utility is a little less controllable than I thought.

[20:36:25]  Tux Winkler: your weapon?  why call it utility?

[20:36:51]  Kalel Venkman: It’s not intended for use on people – it’s intended to push physical objects off the sim.

[20:37:18]  Tux Winkler: you of all people should know not to fire a weapon on SI

[20:38:27]  Kalel Venkman: It was an unintentional effect.

[20:40:36]  Tux Winkler: it is still assult, if anyone else had so much as rezzed a popgun they would have recieved an AR if seen by the JLU

[20:44:32]  Tux Winkler: I am guessing your presence here was to report the unscripted prim litter of the sand box, and the beams of light, but especially the JLU fanart that hovers in the sky.  I also guess, the usual prcess of JLU will take turns in coming and reporting.  Will they also attempt to shoot at me?

[20:45:43]  Kalel Venkman: Primarily the heavy prim litter.  The fan art doesn’t concern us, as the web site it points to is being destroyed by British authorities as we speak.

[20:46:16]  Tux Winkler: really?

[20:46:31]  Kalel Venkman: Yeah, I have to say, I agree with you on the litter blasters – very random.  I probably shouldn’t be using them.

[20:47:03]  Kalel Venkman: Um, yeah.

[20:47:17]  Kalel Venkman: The Brits are very sympathetic.

[20:47:50]  Tux Winkler: Superman has power in the UK also?

[20:47:56]  Kalel Venkman: Uh huh.

[20:48:01]  Kalel Venkman: And lots of other places.

[20:48:17]  Tux Winkler: *ooc: you are role playing right?

[20:48:42]  Kalel Venkman: Um – no, I’m not – I’m having web sites removed in various countries.

[20:49:38]  Tux Winkler: Right, and please explain how you have arrange for the British Authorities to destroy my server?

[20:49:56]  Kalel Venkman: Very simple.

[20:49:59]  Kalel Venkman: I said please.

[20:50:00]  Kalel Venkman: Ah, so it’s yours.

[20:50:11]  Kalel Venkman: You’ll have to look up the rest.

[20:50:20]  Tux Winkler: Will the secret service raid my datacentre and plant c4 under it?

[20:50:39]  Kalel Venkman: I think you should probably read up on United Kingdom copyright law.

[20:50:49]  Kalel Venkman: You happen to be in gross violation of it.

[20:51:04]  Kalel Venkman: Assuming that’s actually you.

[20:51:07]  Tux Winkler: no, I do not, I have broke no law =)

[20:51:27]  Kalel Venkman: Yup.  You have some reading to do, all right.

[20:51:34]  Kalel Venkman: Have a good evening.

[20:52:10]  Tux Winkler: BTW, I will not remove a customers data, and I will contest your copyright claim.

[20:52:39]  Kalel Venkman: Good luck with that.

[20:52:44]  Kalel Venkman: It’s being removed anyway.

[20:53:03]  Kalel Venkman: You don’t get a vote here.

[20:53:35]  Tux Winkler: Ok, when the request comes in, it will be reviewed as does every other allegation.

[20:53:39]  Tux Winkler: a vote?

[20:53:50]  Kalel Venkman: That’s right – the takedown is mandatory.

[20:54:03]  Kalel Venkman: You really REALLY need to read up on the laws that affect you.

[20:54:16]  Kalel Venkman: I’m really surprised you don’t know this stuff if you’re in business doing it.

[20:55:22]  Tux Winkler: No, at worst I can recieve a request to freeze on the subdomain, then I will contest.  The ball is in your court to prove you have IP on the superhero stuff and the chat logs of others. XD

[20:56:06]  Kalel Venkman: To contest, you have to prove you own the material instead of me.  That’s the only valid terms for contesting the takedown.

[20:56:10]  Kalel Venkman: Which you won’t be able to do.

[20:56:31]  Kalel Venkman: Have a good one.

[20:56:42]  Tux Winkler: No I  dont, you have to prove you own it in order to force my hand, which will be impossible.  In the US a takedown may be used to prevent the truth.  But in the UK you have to prove you own the material and have a right to demand a takedown.  One look at your log will prove you don’t – XD

[20:59:51] Tux Winkler: Muted yet?

Ironically I was quite enjoying this little chat.  I am now thoroughly conviced these threats have nothing to do with copyright, but it is a method of speedy removal.

So the moral of this story is this:

‘If you find yourself on Sandbox Island, do not draw a weapon unless you wear you panties on the outside and role play a comic character!’

I request that all readers AR every member of the JLU when seen in PG sims for indecent exposure, because they are displaying their underwear (thanks DB).

Oh the fan art:

I didn’t bother looking who made it, because I was laughing to much.  I hope to see these popping up all over – XD

Finally, I would like to say this.  I do not really know the whole story about this wiki, and I haven’t the time to read it.  So why am I involved I hear you ask?  Well simply because I have been attacked and threatened in SL and RL.  But the difference is, with me, its water off a ducks back.  I have had a stalker for ever who’s common tactic is defamation and threats.  So a few cartoon hero’s do not really bother me.  Be warned though Kalel, this unhealthy behaviour is bordering on obsession.  Refocus and gain some dignity.

I have included a video I found of you when you were happier – check yourself!
