C.A.T.S.

Rhi Rossini of the Second Style blog just released an article about the new Minnu Model Skin. She titled the article with “ZERO Tolerance from Minnu Palen” and started it with this:

“Minnu Palen is well known for her amazing skins. She has also been known lately due to some unsavory and undeserved drama. I won’t get into that, but I do want to praise her for being strong and keeping her head up high!”

Undeserved drama?

This is what the people of Second Style call it when other people care about content theft and copycats? Are they serious? Is this what they think about talking about IP rights which do not only exist inside Second Life?

Don’t they care about all the Gen4 Customers who will never ever get their money back?

Don’t they care about reaching clarification for all involved parties?

“I (Minnu Palen) did use rendered pictures of the purchased textures” – “Items sourced and in question are the light brown eyebrows, lips and belly button” – Minnu Palen

She admitted this after weeks of “drama” and bad press. After weeks of not speaking up. After a bunch of people did not just shut up like the CSR’s of Minnu Model Skins told them to do. And you won’t get into that but you want to praise Minnu for keeping her head up high? Are you serious?

“I believe that copycats need to be exposed and can use some bad press just so that they understand that they can not get away with it just because this is Second Life. Reputation is everything in Second life and supporters of copycats should go down with them.” – Maddox DuPont

I think what Maddox is trying to tell us is:

ZERO tolerance for Minnu Palen.
