I was jumping over the grid looking for some nice but not too expensive audio studio equipment. There is a pile of turntables and mixers that look "like a pizza box with glued textures", but I also saw some good work. It takes a lot of teleporting around to find something good looking and affordable at the same time, I know that. But I hardly stand to have a problem with human stupidity manifested in copy/mod/trans permissions.
- What do you mean no mod?
- Why the hell no copy?
I am not buying non-copyable things. I am sorry, but
- Second life is infamous for its nasty habit to eat items when you rezz them. And if they are no-copy you cannot get them back from the endless pits of asset servers.
- Beside that, I might want to put that thing with some rezzing script if I need it occasionally or I might want to link it to something else.
- I might need them in more than one place and I really don't understand the idea of bringing furniture (or anything else) from one location in the second life to the other.
- Even if we speak about speakers or turntables, I need them in more than one instance but they go in pairs anyway. And if I need three or four… it is not infinite number! You don't expect that somebody will buy the same thing twice, don't you? I mean, when I put my first pair of speakers in the vendor…. hell, I said, I am selling you one, then you see how many you need in your home, club, whatever. It sounds immoral to sell the same digital item many times to the same person. It sounds like a fraud.
- And at last, but it was to be on the first place… I need to make a backup copy? I can mess when I modify it.
What do you mean "no modify"?
You say that no customer would want to edit a single prim of your creation? You are absolutely sure you did every bit perfectly? You are absolutely sure that I might not need to change the cover of the CD left on the broadcasting booth? And you presume that nobody might want to unlink and move the poseballs so they fit avatar's height? Not to mention the possibility to create and (as part of that) to customize things is one of the essential things in second life?
What really bugs me is why people are doing that. Why trying to put things in chains and stone?
