Hello, everyone.  Unfortunately, with this forum entry, I am bringing some unsettling news.  I was just alerted by a kind person that some of my models were stolen, and are being offered by a thief in the SecondLife marketplace, for what appears to be a crazy amount of money.  I'm not familiar with SecondLife, so I'm looking for information on how to shut this guy down.  Also, if you are a modeler, you may wanna look around for some of your own stuff, because this guy clearly has a lot of models in his marketplace, and is making money at our expense!  Here's some examples of the models he has stolen from me, and is currently selling in his SecondLife store:

Starfish Floor Lamp
Dirty Shovel (this one was part of a larger Dirt Grave prop I created)
Street Lamp
Bag Chair (he also modified it into a couch, but this is my original bag chair, including all my original textures)

He's got a few additional models of mine too, and tons of other high quality models, which I'm sure he did not create himself!  If you create models, it may be worth having a look in his store for some of your work.  If you know someone who creates models, please alert them to this guy's illegal actions:

https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/126033

This guy needs to be reported, and shut down immediately.  If anyone has any information on the best course of action in regard to reporting this behavior to Linden Labs, or if anyone reading this has contacts at the Linden Research company that might be willing to help, please let me know.  This guy is stealing, and making money off our hard work.
