I have NO idea where to put this, as sending in a report ticket confuses me.

Here we see someone selling the Asura player model on SecondLife. If you dont have a Second Life accoumt, and dont want to make one, (I dont blame you, the place is nuts)

I have attached a picture of the model being sold.

Unfortunately, if you wanna report it (for copyright, duh) you’ll need to make an account.

Just move this thread if I placed it the wrong place. </3

Yeah, there are quite a few Second Life vendors who shamelessly steal anything and everything for their shop.

I was active inSL during its early years (2004-2008), so I can confirm that this is a common occurrence with just about any and every IP out there. As I’m unsure how to file this as a case either, I’d suggest sending a note along to Gaile asking for clarification (or someone poke her about this thread).

If ArenaNet wishes to respond, they just need to send the normal DMCA request to Linden Lab. Of course, if the quality of the product is good (the picture linked is actually well done IMO), they could instead reach out to the various creators to negotiate a license agreement; That’s actually happened in a few cases, with varying degrees of success.

I’d actually be surprised if no one at Anet had a Second Life account, so they probably could report this.
