[sldev] SnowGlobe and copybots

[mal]

i hate to sound like a bad seed here. because i hate copybot just as much as 
the next resident. copying your prims and textures is one thing. when they 
fully highjack your assets including your scripts. violating the copy modify 
and transfer rights thats another issue. i strongly feel that we should have 
the right to manage our own inventory. to create backups on our own 
computers. at least for the items we have the rights to do so with. and with 
any bit of code. no matter what you do to protect the data someone somewhere 
will find a way to manipulate that data and 'cheat' the system.

copybot was originally designed as a utility for good. and was later dupped 
by evil and turned into what we have all spent the last few years fighting. 
i sure miss when it was only in 'bot' and not the viewers. but alas it is in 
the viewers. and what is worse is that the viewers copybot is 1000 times 
smarter than the old bot programs..... and yes cryolife should be removed 
LL. there are many hacks that im not even sure if you are aware of yet that 
allow users to take full perm objects. not jsut exporting but to dupe your 
asset servers into giving them full perm copies in their inventory. this 
includes all the scripts inside the object btw.... basically rendering 
Second Life worthless.

i agree with the other users that we need a way to control the backup 
utilities. but i must say to auto kick anyone not using a LL client you are 
going to kill the best viewer ever made Emerald. as well as Meerkat,Cool 
Viewer, Nicholaz, and you might as well go ahead and close this mailing 
list. because every time you compile your viewer you arent compiling a LL 
compiled viewer. i think that is taking it a bit too far.

sorry everyone just my 2cents
