    In the long run the only way for SL to succeed as a platform (for web x.0) is to open source it and make it distributed. I agree that this is an excellent push to force the platform to become more secure for at least open source clients, but imho, but wouldn't it be more beneficial for the whole community to release f.ex a python to LSL byte code compiler than a digital copy machine?

    In these hours, many SL people are complaining, often without even knowing what they are talking about. It looks like Armageddon if you listen to them. They ask for jails, handcuffs, encryption and DRMs (you know, it's a so-good-working approach... :) against Copybot and its developers.

    I would be interested in insightful comments and analysis of CopyBot meaning and consequences. It would be great if you -baba and other lsl devs- would collect some interesting articles about it in order to give people some clue.
    Or maybe you're already doing that?

    Please let us know if you're going to do something similar - and where you are going to publish the links to these articles.

    If I may ask, what you think about recent SL Herald articles about the CopyBot?

    Anything we post will in all likelyhood be linked from libsecondlife and this website.

    I only got one Q here. ;) Say you had two hundred /unlinked/ cubes arranged in a pattern. Can Copybot copy their locations relative to each other and reproduce the patterns, or would you end up with just a lot of cubes that you'd have to manually reassemble? Just a thought, it may mollify some people that have complex statues and such on their land they don't want copied, to simply be able to delink them into single prims and be effectively 'immune' to copy attempts (else they just get a massive pile of prims) :)

    In the current state copybot would not be able to duplicate the statue. Nobody on our dev team will be adding that function any time soon, and I don't think the people who released it have the ability to do it.. 

    I say go for it Psyra
