Uh kaaaay

Don't file DMCA's with SLX when you find your stuff on there. File them with Linden Labs.

SLX:
"DMCA notifications and counter-notifications sent to Virtuatrade are real-world legal notices and will be treated as such. Copies of these documents will be sent to participants or third parties as required by law. The Xstreet SL Privacy Policy specifically states that your personal information may be disclosed in connection with these notices."

They send the crazy people whom you file against your personal information.

At 11:01 AM , jojji said...: Hmm, sounds like SLX are a bit fuzzy with the law...

Linden have special status as a service provider - they can't be held responsible for any content held on their network. You file a DMCA and they are legally obliged to take action - but they can never have any prior knowledge of content or they lose their ISP status.

SLX or XStreet SL (stupidest name ever!) cannot claim to be an ISP and get the same immunity. Surely they ARE responsible for content and could be held liable for it? Shouldn't any DMCA be filed against SLX themselves?
At 2:07 PM , Noam said...: they sent my personal information to someone unstable who sent me a threatening email yesterday. It's great.
At 11:28 PM , Shattered said...: If you get threats from the people you file against thanks to them giving your info, doesn't that mean they've got more liability and you could lump them into a lawsuit, if you wanted to go that route?
At 11:35 PM , Noam said...: If I get contacted again I am supposed to report the person and the SLX company, Virtuatrade, to the police.

SLX basically said yes we gave out your information, thanks for using SLX.

I don't even use SLX, I was just reporting my shit being on it.
At 4:34 AM , Shattered said...: I don't use SLX either, except for the occasional browse for an item (and then I try to find the store/creator inworld, if I want the item).

I don't think you're the first creator I've seen to complain about their giving info out when DMCAs are filed and it leading to harassment; I wish I could remember where else I saw a complaint.

About Me

Second Life alias: Noam "Danger" Sprocket

Bio: Noam was born in Feb 2006 spontaneously. He spent most of that year being a pain in the ass twat. 2007 proved to be better times, having moved to Koreshan and made some hat everyone and their grandma bought. Then he got really into smack, not the drug but the breakfast cereal, sugar smacks... mmm. Then stuff happened and things where great. Then more stuff happened and it's shitty again. I think cryolife might be karmic retribution for 2006.

Store Policy and Peeves

If I'm offline, send me a notecard with your name, the item name, the date you bought it and most importantly the transaction # and you will get super speedy service as soon as I accept the note. Failure to do any of that means you have to wait.

If your notecard starts off by calling me a thief because you paid for something and it was never delivered, please take a second to close your eyes and picture me. Sitting at my desk and pantomiming strangling you. Never do I stroke my Snidley Whiplash mustache and go "HOHO, For I have stolen another 25 cents from someone on the internet! My dastardly deeds know no bounds!" And then cackle madly. The asset server sucks. Just give me the trans # and I will fix it.

Items that are NO MOD, will forever be no mod. Please try the demos

I will gladly send gifts of no transfer items if it's not a hugenormous list. There is no additional cost.

No Refunds or exchanges on NO TRANSFER items. This means hair. Please be sure that you are purchasing the correct style and color before you commit to buying.

Lying about transactions, using someone else's Trans #s, saying you bought more than you did etc, will result in banning. And if it's funny, I may tell other people about it too. :-D You've been warned.

I don't do customs, but I do take suggestions. If I get inspired by your suggestion I will send you the item I make for free. Please when suggesting stuff put your avatar name on a notecard with any reference pictures as I have a shitty memory.

I don't make little kid clothes.

I do not speak any other language than English. If you do not speak English, then you probably can't understand any of this policy and I look forward to your nonsensical IMs and threats on my life.

I can only do resizes if I have time. I don't usually. :( Sorry. Honest to blog, if I have free time, I will help you out. If it's an easy issue, I will try to walk you through it.

Until Linden labs gets rid of the NOTES sections of profiles, I track all correspondences with customers through that. If you were a dick to me 6 months ago for no good reason and you're hoping I forgot by now, hahahahaha. Silly face. I love taking notes.

I'm not looking for models.

I don't want to give you $10,000 linden to put on a fashion show.

I'm not looking for rental spots at the moment. When I am, I am looking for places that: have nice builds, don't have to do with nekos, and have a rental rate closer to L$1 to 1prim.

If Second Life ever fucks up your PERMS and makes mod objects no mod, I will replace them. If it's trans, send me back the broken parts. If it's no trans, TP to the shop when I'm on and just show me you own it. (Snapshots do not = ownership)

I do not replace items for people who got their accounts banned. I do not give items to alts either. Just don't get banned. How hard can that be?

The only people who should be offended by this list are the people who commit these atrocities and therefore deserve to be offended. If you are just a chill costumer who does your thing without rocking my boat, then I love you X a billion.
