// August 21st, 2009 // Announcements
I had been wanting to create a store model account for Spork, with an easily identifiable name so there would be no doubt about the association with my store. Thus “Spork Mode” was born on the 7th of August, 2009. “She” would also be a “he”, in preparation for a future men’s clothing line. But the first order of business was to acquire a decent skin.
I had heard that there were skins out there in the Skipping Stones hunt, so I started the journey. It didn’t take long to run into other hunters along the way, and as all good happy residents of SL do, we help each other out. I got into a conversation with one such nice person and dropped some jeans on her from my store. She thanked me, and then proceeded to drop several folders on me. One folder for skins and 3 folders full of hair.
After some small talk I headed home with my new loot to see what kind of goods she had given me. Second Life has an odd folder-transfer limitation, where you can only transfer folders with 42 or fewer items, which means I was now the owner of roughly 120+ full permission skins and hair. Stolen skins and hair from places like Gala, Redgrave, ETD, Magika, Truth, Detour, Cake, 69, Sirena, Heartcore, Naughty Designs, Deviant Kitties, and the old RAC.
There are many others, but I was not able to positively identify all of them.
It’s discouraging when it’s so easy for stolen items to be passed around the grid. If thieves can get away with this, nobody wins. Content creators lose income, customers lose by the reduction of new quality items, and ultimately Linden Labs loses income.
If you own anything made by these people, do yourself a favor and dump them in the trash. Please support the original creators by purchasing a legit copy.
