I would like to focus on a problem that has risen in SL. At this moment people, or better, thieves are stealing textures due to a bug in the sl-client software. These stolen textures (skins and clothing) are being resold in sl or handed out freely... The creators who have worked so hard and devoted all their time to make all these beautiful things see their work being reduced to freebies. This weekend I learned that Emilia Redgrave (who has created high quality clothing and who I admire very much) will possibly leave sl because of this. I completely understand this... If I learn that my creations are ripped and resold or given away, I'd stop designing too...
