Copyright Infringment. It happened to me!

There are tons of people that work in Second Life. Some of them do pictures and some do other things.

I am one of them that do pictures. Within the past month one of the pictures I have edited completely minus the white background was taken and then edited again (adding a background).

Thinking I should be going "Oh thanks".. think again. If I would have been asked I would have thought it over.. but without asking me leads me to want it down and deleted ASAP.

To use this picture goes against United States Laws. Get the picture yet? No? Ok read on....

Folks that's Copyright Infringement. Look here:

"as of the copyright act of 1978, all artwork is automatically copyrighted to its created and you may use not only the "c" but the actual wording... date it...you don't actually even have to assert that you own it, but its safer to...the assertion, with the date, is admissible in court as evidence of ownership..... as in "see here- on august 6th we posted a pic of our logo with our copyright" Copied the other day from a friend who worked for a copyright attorney.

I gave this person 24 hours to remove it. Stated to her last night.

This does not go with the previous conversation I had with her about removing it the first time a month ago when I noticed it. She agreed and removed it.. but its back up.

So the clock is ticking...... Think it will be removed AGAIN? Think I might have to bring LL into it? Think I might have to talk to my lawyer?

We shall see.

I know I am not the only one that despises people that do this kind of thing. There are plenty of groups and blogs about this. If it isn't removed I am willing to discuss this problem openly with others to share tactics, thoughts and how to handle it when it arises.

Its time to stop rude annoying unthoughtful idiotic thieves!! Don't you agree!!


EDIT::: Picture was not removed so complaint was filed with LL. Lets see if LL can get of their ass's and take control.

Fashion Shoot... Ya right!

Ok, so I have decided to try something different with my work.

I will stick with simple white Backgrounds for most of the pictures for AB (for now) but when it goes outside of AB I will be toying around with different aspects.

Here is a sample of what I have done so far.


Skin: RockBerry
Outfit: Armidi
Hair: Fri.Day
Shoes: J's Real Toe cross belt Sandals.

Models: 4Gotten Destiny (Me) and Night Fox.

4Gotten:
Skin: Rockberry
Shorts: League
Shirt: Luck Inc
Hair: Fri.Day


Thats not all I have been working on. The next picture I got to use someone that has been close and dear to me for 4 years now. My very own Momma. It was my second go around with trying this out and it turned out pretty well. I will soon be posting more pictures like this.


Picture Titled: Looking Back



Model: Whispers M.



I have yet to open my own gallery and offer to do pictures for others outside my circle but its slowly coming to that as I build up my work. I have the space to do it and the know how its just I am a very lazy person most the time.

I will however offer to do pictures for any AB reader/poser for free as long as you allow me to use your pictures to build up my gallery. Fair trade I think?

That's all from me till RL settles down a tad. Work has been kicking my butt sadly.

But if you would like to pose and be profiled for AB.. Send me a Note Card in game with your name as the title and some test pictures of your avie inside the NC. Along with some information about you and how long you have been in SL. I will be more then happy to set up a shoot for you and get you posted.

[paper.doll] Sale

[paper.doll] is having a huge sale. The store was packed when I went there with major lag.. but hey who isn't willing to face some lag to get a steal on hair, shoes, clothes and even skins?

Click here for SLURL!

There is one outfit I wanted to post. I am not one to wear heels. I hate them with a passion. Only will wear them when the outfit screams for them so I am all over outfits that are sexy and yet allow me to wear flats while still looking decent.






This outfit is:

BuckledUp for 10L.


The only problem I have found with this outfit is the back side of the prims for the shorts. They seem to look a bit off but I am sure with some editing it can be fixed to look perfect.


Also I am wearing a skin from [paper.doll]. The skin is awsome for the price. Was only 50L. It has good shading on the body,face and the boob area. Its a serious must have for that price!!





The hair also is from [paper.doll]. Again this was on sale for 25L. When you get it you will have to mod it but thats the norm for hair.


All in all for 80L you can put together a totally different look with clothes, skin and hair that are worth 10 times more then what you paid. Don't you just love amazing sales????

















Please note: The tats, Necklace, Eyelashes, piercing and shoes are not from [paper.doll]

A serious Duo...




Models: Ziekling Bunnyhug and Pru Xingjian

Well, they are a couple and when I see them to me as a photographer I see 2 pieces of a puzzle. One just doesn't fit without the other.



Ziek (Brown Hair) describes her style as J-Alternative and has been in SL for 4 years. She started in 05'.

Pru (Blonde) describes her style as "Fancy Lady" and has also been in SL for 4 years.

They are oldies when it comes to SL!

What Ziek has to say about herself:

I'm a shopping addict, I started making money to feed my addiction first by selling pirate ships in sandboxes... back when sandbox island was a great place to be. I've done business with Unpopular Designs, and a small amount in Cameo back in the day. I've recently gotten into color tattoo making, inspired by suicide girls. My shop is called Z.Inc.
I met my SL partner a few months after joining SL and after a few long years of waiting I now live with her... and we play SL side by side. I like hanging out with her and our old friends and some new friends too, and when I'm not in the mood to build or work I'm usually taking pics, talkin smack, flickr whoring and reading blogs.

What Pru has to say:

I'm a scripter and I'm super smart, I made guns for years and my wife is writing this part for me.

Im supercute!

Gunnycakes!









Model: Gunner Dawner aka Gunner Rope


Gunner is one of the craziest people you might ever meet that might be why everyone adores him so much. He has also been playing on SL 3 years this October.

When I asked him what his style is I got this:

"OMFG THIS B COOLZORZ"

Yep gotta <3 him!




What Gun is wearing: (Again this info is always hard to get out of guys)

Clothes: FNKY & 19 SOSAKU-KOBO
Hair: Muism
Skin: Abyss
Shoes: Tonktastic





What he would like to say about himself:

.... Ok well I couldn't post what he said so Ill say some things.....


Gunner should be locked up in a crazy house with the keys thrown away.

Other then that he really is an all around good guy. I don't think he likes to show that much nor the fact that he is smart.

Hes one of your typical males except for the fact he doesn't have a TRUE egotistical bone in his body. That might be why a lot of people get along with him.

Hes a true smart-ass and rebel to a T. He likes to pick on people.... Me included and everyone just picks right back at him. Gunner is someone people would like to have as a friend.

The Star Auntie...








Model: Rio Buridan




This is Rio she is the owner of an awsometastic shopping sim called Ganesha. She just also happens to be my only Auntie... well the only one I claim anyhow. She has been on SL since June of 06 she also describes her look as Urban/Grunge.








What she is wearing:

Shoes: InimitablyDesign
Piercings: <-PUNCTURE->
Bangles & Belly Ring: Relentless Unknown
Skin: Redgrave
Tatts: Hybrid Productions
Hair: >TRUTH<
Clothes: Apple May Designs
Earrings: Purple Rose Jewelry
Necklace: [Calypso Giano}


What Rio would like to say about herself:

What's interesting about me? Hmmm .. Well .. I'm probably one of the most blonde people you'll ever meet! In an accidental, funny way! Due to this high level of "blondeness," I never really developed any special talents in SL .. not that I can speak about in public, that is! ;) So, I decided to buy sims. After all, just like RL, it takes all of us to make our SL world function! My first sim was Rundas .. a quiet, residential sim. Most of the residents there own their land, and HAVE owned it for over 2 years now! They seem to love it there, and they SAY I'm a pretty awesome Landlord! :) The second sim was Ganesha .. a newly rebuilt EPIC commercial sim! At one point, Ganesha had over 70 shops with a waiting list! But alas, RL economy hit SL as well, and things haven't been QUITE as good since. I've lowered my prices basically in half to help with the economic crunch in order to give all the awesome creators in SL a chance to shine! We'll bring it back to speed! It's just gonna take a lilttle time! I've also owned a couple of RP sims, but they've since gone by the wayside. I'll just stick to the two I have from now on! Other than running my sims, I basically just hang out with the AWESOME friends I've met during my SL days .. some of which I also consider RL friends now, too. I know they would do anything in the world for me, as I would for them. I always like helping people out, so feel free to IM me if you have any questions or if I can help you in any way! That's just basically me .. in a nutshell! Good luck with your new blog! WOO HOO for the "Anti Barbie" stuff out there! I never liked Barbie Dolls anyway! ;)

What she would like to say about herself:

I am so a new Chicken Farmer, and own a chicken business. I never would have thought after all these years in SL that i would ever raise chickens, but i love them. Heck something has to support my shopping habits. Mostly i am around family, It is usually where i can be found. My family is the reason i even log on to this game anymore. Most of the bonds and relationships i have made in this game i carry into my RL. There are some pretty intresting, amazing people in this game. I have been in this game so long there truly isn't much i haven't done, seen or heard, so nothing really shocks me anymore. I just tend to stick around a few close people day to day, because they are what keep me going.

A little Greene never hurt anyone...

SL drama...hate it...and love it... SL just wouldn't be the same without it right ???
Try avoiding being a sheeple, fiddle about with building, play and just enjoy my time on SL generally with mai hunneh. I like exploring new places and generally running about being a tool, so if I knock on your door, LET ME IN!! and gimme coffee :D


The one behind it all....


So its about time I show who I am..

I am 4Gotten Destiny within the world of Second Life. I entered this world in Dec. of 2004. I have recreated more times then you can count on one hand. I now only play on this single character though. Lets just say life is.. messy but so wonderful at the same time.

I don't have a style, hence why I run around naked some days with no care in the world.

I bet your wondering why I am trying to start another fashion blog and saying to yourself "Ugh not another one. There are way to many already". Well here's my answer to you.

I am starting this to not over run or do anything to anyone that is already running a blog. I am simply starting this to make a statement that sexy doesn't have to mean big boobs, blond hair, clean skin and no marks. Sexy is what we make it to be and how we perceive ourselves. The name "The Anti Barbie" is to not be taken in a negative view but rather in a view that you don't have to be a barbie to fit in. Be yourself. Make your Second Life... Yours. Forget the expensive trends and shop off the main road (Trust me you can find some awesome shops that way).

So now that you know a little information about me.. why don't you let us get to know you threw being profiled here at Anti Barbie. Show everyone your true likes in style. Make it crazy and make it YOU!

I own and operate a store called Relentless Unknown. The store currently is not in SL until i find a new location, but I do have some things on slx. I also use a blog to advertise and that takes up some time as well, and can be found at http://relentlessunknown.blogspot.com/. Always am friendly and helpful, so don't be afraid to say hello.

I'm here to enjoy the possibilities of SL. I love meeting new people, taking pictures and finding new and sexy things to wear. I have some other hobbies too but you have to get to know me a little before we can talk about that.

I find a lot of different ways to spend my time but my favorite is keeping my girls happy (you know who you are!). If I can find a little time to torment sg and keep Lexie out of mischief, it's been a good day.



editing. stay tuned. I got plans!

Just what the title says..........................................

You have a choice now. Remove that picture from your profile and I don't do anything here on my blog and other blogs of people I know against you. Keep it.. and well its time to play dirty with doing option 1.

If I'm not doin any of that then I'm spending time with my hunny shoppin or cuddlin, you know the sappy stuff.

The Dark-Side


Model: Paleki Lutrova

Pal was one of my favorites to do a picture of tonight. His Avatar is so unique it describes what we strive to show here at Anti Barbie.












When we asked what made up his look this evening this is what we got:

"Crap, I don't remember, and I'm too lazy to check. Some of it was made from my friend Mistresskitty Revolution, who I totally bum free things from because she rocks and is a pretty badass builder. Also, hugs. The rest of the shit is unimportant, because I don't know or care for the creators. I gave them moneh, I don't have to advertise for them."

Some more information about Kip:

I actively seek out the hive mentality and do stupid shit to contest it. I'm different, like everyone else. I get jealous about a lot of stupid things, and I care pretty heavily what even a random stranger thinks of me...however, I still remain about as blunt as can be and arguments entertain me. I love drama, life would be horribly dull with out.

The Anti Barbie

Welcome to the Anti Barbie.

This is not a place to bash or belittle anyone for the way they look. The title may seem negative but it is to make a point.

Beauty is not the style of "Barbie" but rather the style He/She chooses to wear. Style is an extension of who we are. So be yourself!

I will be going threw the dark tunnels of SL finding the most unique styles of people I can find and bringing them to you. With that I will be telling you what they are wearing and by who.

Tired of the barbie wanna be's? Well welcome to the other side of style. Where looking good comes in all colors and sizes!!
