1. Open Simulator uses code from Linden Labs' software. This fact alone makes OpenSim a copybot of itself. How? By continual development using core OpenSim. It would require a major rewrite to fix this.
2. 90% of active Opensim users are using botted items anyway. It's the only way to get content away from Second Life for places like OpenSim to thrive.
3. Grids have the right to block whomever they want to. Whining about it doesn't magically reverse it.
4. There are clauses in OpenSim to deter would-be copyrighters. Don't want to deal with it? Shut down your grid, and go away or don't complain. You knew this was a possibility when becoming a grid owner.
5. True major violators are delt with. Kitely has a giant issue with this still.
6. Visitors need to know that not ever location on OSW is ran on some corporate super computer 24hrs a day. Most are on personal computers being ran on sub-par internet. Just like #3, whining about it doesn't magically fix it.
7. The only true OpenSim grid that will remain when the others have left will be OsGrid. Is it a ghost town 90% of the time? Yeah it is but when the OsGrid fundraiser comes around, it's always filled.
8. OpenSimWorld and SatyrFarm are projects from one person done in spare time. Whining about it doesn't make him appear from thin air and fix whatever issue you're having.
9. The Swiss stating what their laws on copyright is makes them transparent, not troublesome. Only an idiot sees it that way. The Swiss was also home to The Pirate Bay - US Copyright laws do not and will not exist there, nor are they enforced. Even Trump won't mess with the Swiss.
10. Any grid owner who uses the God mode function to force object ownership to themselves is using their executive powers that have been a staple of OpenSim/Second Live since 2005. Second Life viewer 1.0 had this function for admins to do this very thing if residents became unruly.
11. Visitors need to realize that servers and internet aren't for free - grids and standalone regions need that to cover their cost or we find ourselves whining about why such and such place or grid isn't around anymore. It's because of whiny children who feel entitled to everything, even if their in their 40s. This very argument is why minimum wage and cost of living in the US went up.
12. Giving something away that costs people money isn't a violation no matter how you look at it or there'd be more people in jail(starting with the new head of the FCC/AT&T kiss ass).
There, now that I've thoroughly covered everything and offended everyone it had to be said. Those that wonder why OpenSim hasn't evolved only need to look in the mirror. We are the ones slowly killing OpenSim from the inside out. We are the ones pushing newcomers away with our he said/she said bullshit and of our screams of what's deemed right and wrong. Second Life is still here. Why? Because they control stuff like this from getting out of hand(and we passed that threshold yesterday) and don't act like children while doing it. Why is OsGrid still here while other major grids failed? Same reason. InWorldz went under because of how its residents acted, not Beth, not Tranquility.
To be honest I don't care if I've offended anyone with the truth. It sucks - get over it. Boredom is not a valid excuse for stupidity(I'm going to use that as a tag line now I think). We should be thinking about what the next big thing should be for OpenSim, then embrace it. No police it to death where no one wants it. If these aren't your ideals then just shut your computer off, disconnect your internet, and go play outside.

(Potlatch) is a lifelong carpenter looking to hang up his tool belt and start singing, producing and authoring for a living. His interest in the diverse applications of music, video and audio refuses to accept boundaries. Whether he lends his vocals to an original, Jazz, Big Band, Hard or Soft Rock cover song, a heartfelt and harmonic effort is the result. His website, (titled after his original song "The Alligators' Alley") about the plight of the Everglades and his videos reflect a concern and involvem
