Hey folks-
Thanks for letting me know about this guy (and apparently taking
care of the situation). This is the first chance I've had to
actually spend any decent amount of time online for the past week, so
I'll likely be taking care of filing the DMCA notice tomorrow, just
in case. I figure if I mail it, Linden should get it sometime next
week.
Man. Some people, huh? I just don't know sometimes...

No problem Jim, I have been a fan of your stuff for years and lurker on
your yahoo group off and on for a while. Enough to know about your medical
issues and rarity of your online times. As well as your stance on people
selling your art. The second I saw the sign "Skunked.Com" i knew it was related to
you and I stopped in the shop and saw all your stuff, I knew you probably did
not authorize it. That's why I knew I could contact you here about it. I
also mentioned the shop to the admin.'s of FP then. Letting them know I was
contacting you to be sure. The moment I saw your reply I went on and told them
your stance, and they acted quickly. Note please this was just in the area of
FurPleasure, This guy had at least 5 shops only one of which was in FP. I did
a search for "skunked" and there are not any of his shops showing up now
however, So that is a good sign. I was also there witnessing the admin. closing
his stall in FP.
The guy had a friend there with him saying that he was mentally disabled
and trying to explain to him that he did wrong. After watching all that
occurred I am still 50/50 on if I believe that or not. Considering that when I
saw Jim's comment here and I replyed, went straight on secondlife and reported
the guy then told the FP staff, that all took about 15-20 mins tops. The guy
was online in that time and rushed to FP. He didnt beat the admins to his
shop though. From what I hear SecondLife is disabled friendly set up so anyone
can play it. However this guy had 5 shops in various locations running each
with several automated venders. If he was so disabled that he did not know what
he was dooing then how could he keep all that straight. Though it was
mentioned that he had a parnter but all the stuff was in his name. So It could be
he really didnt know and someone used him. Its hard to deterimne, but either
way the shops seem to be down.
