My "oh HELLO" shop has outfits I've assembled, using items found in various stores. I don't claim to be the creator of these items. All I create is a unique look.
There seems to be some controversy about an item in this "Casual and Utterly Confident" outfit. Bella Diesel claims to be the creator of the items she sells in her shops. However, on my first visit I saw two items that I've long had in my inventory where someone with a different name and grid is listed as the creator. So, I have good reason to doubt Bella's claim of being the creator, even as that term is used in OS.
So far, Bella has not answered my very simple question, "Do you have an alt in Sacrarium?" Perhaps she and they are the same person. Maybe they aren't. Maybe either, or both, are selling each other's "creations," or even other people's, and claiming credit. Who can sort out this creator credit chaos?
It is true that people do a lot of work to copybot, import, modify, and create marketing items like logos, vendor textures and the like for the items we find in OS. But that does not make that person the creator of the product. It makes them an unwanted, uninvited, contributor to the work of the real creator.
Before you restrict permissions on "your" creation, let's see the permission you have from the original creator to import the item from SL into OS and be the exclusive distributor of it. Or, if you are the creator, please provide verification of that.
