This is just one example of how she lies and takes that which does not belong to her and then plays innocent when needed, etc.. and how she rips people off.

Lillybeth Filth, retorting your typical hypocritcal BS I see.. funny how you want people to contact you about textures in question as opposed to filing DMCA’s yet you just give all these reasons why you will viciously go after others… often in the past on copyrights that you did not own in the first place. I have no respect for you due to you selling textures that you did not have permission to sell, such as Marlin Studios, GameBeep.com, DavidG the Josef Tear textures, Half Life 2 and others. How does it feel to have the tables turned when we filed those DMCA’s against you last week? You have escaped court thus far but be prepared. Compensation is a nasty bite that you may have trouble to digest.

As for Lex, I filed a DMCA against him last week and the textures were removed from his inventory and from the inventory of his alt.. over 1000 of those 10,000 texture packages were Marlin Studios. Our lawyer is in the process of filing a huge DMCA to have them completely removed from all of the inventories inside SL. No one has the right to use the textures that Lex illegally uploaded, probably from some bit torrent site.

Lillybeth Filth.. it’s your choice if we see you in court or not… you have until Monday am and if we do not hear from Linden Lab, then you know our decision. One more thing, please do stop passing around threatening libelous notecards about me.. and also I am curious how you got my RL info but hey that’s ok cause I got yours too.

This man is being investigated by a well known texture website 3DTotal.com for uploading their textures and selling them in boxes called ” textures from around the world” and other names
This texture site has recently contracted with TRU ( Textures R Us ) and we are working a clean up program with some copyright agents who are acting on behalf of 3DTotal.
Anyone found reselling them will be issued a take down notice and have 24 hours to removed them before we fax Linden Labs
Regards to the person mentioned here, as he uploaded them into SL and as such has cost 3DTotal possibly thousands of dollars in lost revenue he should seek legal advise.
The maximum fine for distributing a copyright protected image is $150 “per” image.
The courts will also take into consideration the loss of earnings the real artist has encountered as a result of the copyright breach.
Rather him than me.
( as for the above comment - I look forward to recieving your notecard so you can point these apparent stolen textures out. Any works found at TRU that arent legal will be removed. We have 60+ artists and 8 outside texture sites contracted to TRU , please bear that in mind. Its sad people feel they can’t leave their names when they make accusations such as these )

Boohoo, someone sold Lillybeth’s textures. When 90% of the stuff from her store is from others’ texture stores (Lemog3D, for one — who never gave her perms to do so - and tiledtextures.com as another, who never gave her perms to do so - Nifran Tay, as another texture artist whose work was seen in her store, and so forth - shall I continue the list?). People who want people to believe they’re texture artists in SL seem to do whatever they can to reap what they can from the internet instead of creating their own. It’s a nasty cycle, but too bad we have to feel sorry for the so-called “artists” who fly off the handle when “their” alleged work (which they meticulously rename textures from REAL artists’ websites) is found in someone else’s stores. . . It’s black market materials sold repeatedly by thieves in an endless cycle of theft. It’s disgusting, and Lillybeth is NOT a victim - she’s a part of the problem!

I agree with you Nobody. If someone is seen to have a lot of other people’s IP in his vendors, I think it should be possible to AR them and have LL take action.

Fortunately they do tend to move fairly swiftly when someone is selling their own IP!

The problem with such issues is that the original texture owner would have to file DMCA claims, etc… plus, the copyright protection system of Second Life doesn’t do much in the way of enforcing these rights.

I am very interested in this, though - and I’ll probably reference it in the near future.
