I am a Second Life user.  I'm not morally unconscious.  Just because you don't understand Second Life or don't enjoy playing Second Life is no reason to look down your noses at those who do. 

I don't steal content.  I'm here to learn, not steal.  Most players want creative content and are willing to pay for it.   I'm a heavy Second Life end-user and I don't know anyone who rips textures without regard to TOS.  In Second Life, legitimate creators either purchase textures or make their own.

As for models, we are pretty limited by what we can do.  So what makes a Second Life avatar stand out are the skins that lay over the shape (body).  Great skins that don't cost a fortune are limited.  And trying to find a skin for a shape that is not ordinary is nearly impossible.  So that is why I am here.  To learn how to make a skin for my plus size avatar in Second Life.  I'm very surprised that no one has bothered making a decent skin for plus size AVs, let alone clothing.

So rather than speculate what Second Lifers are up to just ask one.  I'm sure they are not as evil as you assume.
