Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - Saeki Amae - 11-11-2020
Hello everyone! :D I wonder about one thing - on this forum we share stuff that we can later upload inworld. So each person uploads animations, mesh models, textures.. and each of us pays the upload fees.
My idea would be to make some kind of inworld database of stolen stuff and each of us can contribute to it uploading things that we manage to copybot so that others don't have to pay again the upload fees. Even if the uploading persons get banned, the stuff stays so LL won't be able to remove this in any way - the prims can be copied always easily.
What you think guys about this?
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - Saeki Amae - 11-11-2020
Eventually we could have special uploaders - they would be persons who get banned regularly anyways and they are used to bypassing LL bans - we could pay them for uploading stuff - in this way we reduce the chance to get banned because someone else uses our stolen stuff - while the actual uploader will be banned anyways far ago - for example for haressement or any other TOS violations - so nothing bad can happen

We used to do this awhile back, the problem is Ll changed the way they banned people. it USED to be that okay the avatar is banned. Now they ban on a deeper level blocking the payment info used.
As you know when you upload a mesh onto SL you first need to have payment info on file.
If you're banned they block your payment info and anything that has that blocked payment person's info will also be banned.
So let's say we used PayPal, first you have to have a verified PayPal account to attach. That includes your name address all that jazz. It gets banned, anything with that name will also be banned Creditcard, Skrill account, all that jazz.
So you would ned a bunch of people making accounts all with different forms of payment info and it's just too much to ask.
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - Saeki Amae - 11-11-2020
No not really. You can make let's say 20 unverified paypal accounts with different names and pay there from your verified one by sending there money. Same about skrill - you make account with fake details and pay there from real bank account

Besides, this restriction is about mesh only - animations, sounds, textures - it all can be uploaded without verification - and in case of mesh, we could upload many items at once, to be able to upload as many things inworld as possible.
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - ZeroThe10th - 11-11-2020
I'm pretty sure you cant add a paypal to SL unless its verified, because you need to make a Transaction on it so it can be verified, but you know I've only been on here forever what do I know.*shrugs* maybe I'm wrong. Anywho for the sounds, textures, and animations, yeah we could do that nothing saying you can't, Only it's just become easier to supply UUIDs for those because the use of them would be free and they cant be removed. If the person the original owner of the UUID item in question was to have it removed it would remove their own item form the system as well. At one time we had a massive stock of dances and animations but they all got IP removed from the grid and the UUID or straight upload was deemed the best option.
Like you said we could just reupload them again and again, but there is no sideways about getting past that upload fee it's still 10L per file.
Uploading a simple 30 animation Ao would be 300L the bento ones out now a days have over 50 animations which would be 500L, which is a good chunachange to upload again and again and again only to have it taken down. Keep in mind the only money we get is from the people who shell out chang for VIP
it was just more cost-effective to use that money to buy the AOs and extract the AOs and post them here allowing people to use the UUIDs and all that jazz in notecard AOs and all that fun stuff. The same for textures and sounds.
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - Saeki Amae - 11-11-2020
Animations arent only AOs and dances but also furnitures. And I am sure you are more experienced than me :) I just think it would be amazing if it would be possible..
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - Saeki Amae - 11-11-2020
By the way, is it possible to rip mesh in the way so during reuploading i pay fee for mesh model only and textures get autmoaticly added by UUIDs? So far i have to always manually apply textures to each face what is at least frustrating :D
RE: Inworld Stolen Stuff Database - ZeroThe10th - 11-11-2020
I know that I was just using aos as an example, I would think the furniture would be more expensive with all the sits, the couple sits, sex sits so expensive.
As for your question about the mesh upload, naaaah SL charges you per texture linked to the mesh via the materials. They don;t let you side step it by loading a notecard or something like that to it and draw from the resources already inworld. Wouldnt it be grand if they did. The only way you can use UUIDs with mesh onthe cheap is to upload it blank and then manually add the textures via uuid to each part.

@ a friend has a paypal vendor, so far i heard, you must fill in your e-mail adress in the vendor,
he downloaded it a time ago from a forum but he dont use it,
becourse he must pay the creator $0.30+3.9% per transaction,
this is the forum for we have shares like that, only you must upload it by yourself,
years ago they had meshbomb, that was interesting, people shared in world, the items they bought
they post it in the forums ones a month, what they have to share in world then there was 1 person who take all mesh produkt inworld
you must have at least 5 shares each month, but its dangerous to that, so every forums stopt with the meshbomb.
i am sure its still inworld without a forum.
a friend tryed to that one time that was on a forum what no longer exists, he gives 5 shares but never got 1 back
so you can do this only with friends who you trust
