Guild Wars 2 models being stolen
dobby from harry potter looks like an asura too…
The picture file is LITERALLY named Asura
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 like to view MMOs through the lazy eye of a Systems Admin, and the critical eye of a
Project Manager. You’ve been warned. ;-)
I’d actually be surprised if no one at Anet had a Second Life account, so they probably could report this.

Pretty sure I saw sunrise and twilight on xbox live before too for avatars.
