I agree...but as a technically-challenged SL user, I wouldn't have a clue how to get around those permissions. And if they were applied, and if someone got around them, then of course that is actionable.

However, an accusation (or indeed, a defense) on blogs, twitter etc are not the way to sort this. IP theft is a serious issue both in SL and RL, and right now it's playing out like Grade Nine schoolyard stuff instead of the very real offense that it is purported to be. And this sort of unsubstantiated accusation, smearing, defense, counter-accusations etc diminish the very real complaints that SL designers have, in my opinion.

Designers may not like the LL process, but quite seriously, has it been tested in a court yet? I will bet that LL can claim it has taken reasonable precautions and that will stand up. However, court is where IP theft cases should be taken....and in this case the guilty, if found to be so, should be held accountable, not 800 members of a private group, or indeed the SL Mentor program.
