[21:04] Poo Rang: yes... please make sure not to resell people work that is stolen.. if you did not know I understand.
[21:05] Poo Rang: The mushroom is from Bettiepage voyager's shop, BP*
[21:05] Poo Rang: she is a great person who spends lots of time creating so it's terrible to see stolen work
[21:05] Poo Rang: thanks
[21:06] jcqcool Oh: ok....
[21:06] Poo Rang: you will take it down then?
[21:06] jcqcool Oh: i get a full prim thing so i think it can be resell and copy....i saw lots of people do that.
[21:07] Poo Rang: NO. Even if you did buy it from someone it is still stolen work.
[21:07] Poo Rang: lots of people do it but it's still wrong. Lots of people steal from stores in RL too.
[21:07] jcqcool Oh: full prem=can resell mmmmm.
[21:07] Poo Rang: I am sorry that you wasted your money
[21:08] jcqcool Oh: so first i stop to resell it.
[21:08] Poo Rang: well if you don't mind pissing off lots of people I guess go ahead
[21:09] Poo Rang: But I hope you take it down and contact the person that YOU bought it from
[21:10] Poo Rang: There are many people trying to stop this content stealing in SL and I hope that you will understand
[21:10] jcqcool Oh: mmm.too long,and when i get it i had change it's color and shap,and add more script in it by myself.
[21:10] jcqcool Oh: so it's not the thing i think....
[21:11] Poo Rang: It's a large issue , yes
[21:11] Poo Rang: but the bottom line is that Bettiepage did NOT authorize her work to be resold anywhere
[21:12] Poo Rang: so many of us in SL are alerting people that we see selling stolen items
[21:12] Poo Rang: and realy trying to put a stop to it, however futile that may seem
[21:12] Poo Rang: Has anyone else contacted you about this?
[21:13] jcqcool Oh: ok,i know.
[21:13] jcqcool Oh: thanks
[21:13] Poo Rang: ok then
[21:13] jcqcool Oh: and try to stop to resell it.and could you tell her?
[21:13] jcqcool Oh: and could me place it in my home and not resell it?
[21:14] Poo Rang: Yes I will tell her right now
[21:14] Poo Rang: yes
[21:14] jcqcool Oh: ok....
[21:14] Poo Rang: thanks very much for doing the right thing
