HiWe do not know who are the people who are behind the site www.opensim.net not of the same name on Twitter, but we already send a complaint to Google Sites and to Twitter because they are using our image (WorldSimTerra) abused, as well as we already send message to the owners of this page on Twitter with the same complaint with having no response until now our image has been withdrawn.

Hi Anyone know what www.opensim.net <http://www.opensim.net> is all about?The short story; It looks to me like someone (anonymous owner of opensim.net) has hijacked a name (opensim) he or she may or may not have legal rights to with the (criminal) intent of abusing a (free) product name for his or her own benefit.(Yeah, darn those feminists, can't "he" just cover both sexes?)I really hope this doesn't mean that core developers have to spend time on legal issues because some 14 year old wants to run his/her own site. This is valuable time for professional developers that can be spent on making OpenSim better instead of bitching to lawyers.[09:57:25] <Tedd1> http://www.opensim.net/videos/opensim-tutorial-6-basic-avatar[09:57:28] <Tedd1> whats this? :) [09:58:05] <Tedd1> or rather this; http://www.opensim.net/ [10:00:26] <sachaMagne_> no idea [10:00:52] <Tedd1> it seems to be ripping data directly from other sites [10:00:59] <phrearch> hey [10:01:00] <Tedd1> and pretending to "be" opensim[10:01:25] <Tedd1> view source -> Public Grid List Sorted <a href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Grid_List/Sorted/Alphabetically";[10:02:25] <sachaMagne_> the opensimulator list is wrong anywat[10:02:46] <sachaMagne_> if you select different sorts, you will find different result for the same grid[10:03:15] <Tedd1> page contains RSS feeds, steals lists from opensimulator.org, copy pastes info and mixes it with lies and half baked truth without ever mentioning that it is *NOT* opensim[10:03:28] <Tedd1> *RSS feeds from other pages (of course) [10:03:36] <Tedd1> so no actual contribution, a lot of stealing :) [10:04:09] <sachaMagne_> not a breaking news for RSS aggregator ... :/ [10:07:22] <Tedd1> someone should probably contact the domain owner[10:07:41] <Tedd1> would be really pittyful if core members had to spend time on legal issues to get some 14 year old to play nice[10:07:46] <sachaMagne_> i made a whois and the real owner is hidden [10:08:07] <Tedd1> time that could be spent on features, bugfixes, etc [10:08:51] <sachaMagne_> no legal information on the site itself Br, Tedd _______________________________________________ Opensim-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/opensim-dev
