Hi.  Thank you for responding, and providing some insight in the matter.  Yes, the models are actually being sold for real money.  Linden dollars, from what I understand, need to first be purchased with real currency.  The models can be sold with virtual or real money, as seen in the marketplace.  Either way, my TOS prohibits redistribution of the models, including sale of the models, in any form.  I don't mind at all if they are converted and used in the game itself as personal items by the user, but redistribution and sale are the problem.  Not to mention, there are other artists who are being stolen from in his marketplace, including some artists who sell here in this marketplace on Renderosity.  Someone told me that a merchant by the name of Stonemason, who is well known in this community, is also being stolen from by this guy.

At this point, I have sent two separate "cease and desist" requests to the perpetrator; one through the Second Life marketplace messaging system, and one through his personal Facebook account, which he publicly lists as a way to contact him.  I will also file a formal DMCA complaint notification to Linden Lab's designated copyright agent, as per the information on their website, at Linden Research, Inc.

I encourage others, who may find their works being violated by this thief, to do the same.  This is an egregious violation of personal asset infringement, on a large scale.
