Users are not allowed to steal or use content for which they do not have rights. For example, extracting the texture from a skin and using it to create your own product with the same texture or edited is theft.

DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a copyright law that criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures that control access to copyrighted works. In simpler terms, it protects original art and punishes those who steal or use it when they have no rights.
Of course, there is a bit more information to be added here, as IMVU does have a system in place for creators that get banned for a longer period of time (years). I know no case in which a creator got a ban for a long period of time and limited and not worry about cashing out their balance sometime in the future. The cases I personally know of are short-term bans and permanent bans. It is important to point out that high earning creators that have gone through such a scenario have permanently lost their accounts and the associated cash balances.
Note: To calculate the daily IMVU sales, check the pended credits/cash report, pick the first transaction of the day and the last one, then substract the Transaction IDs. Only use full days to have an accurate estimation for a full day.
Furthermore, if you stop buying, you are not hurting IMVU, you are hurting creators. Creators already have full paychecks pending from IMVU. A lower income for IMVU can mean lower MASA growth for a creator.
"It doesn't affect my work because there aren't any other options for me right now than to continue creating content as I have been. It does affect my faith in LL which had been steadily declining anyway."
It *seems* highly unlikely that LL is going to hijack and sell all our stuff... but they have not only taken that right, but also the right to pursue lawsuits on our behalf too, if I understand the lawyers who discussed the new ToS at the SL Bar Association meeting.
I agree @bits... if it was a mistake, why haven't they fixed it to say what they intended it to say. Saying that people are wrong about the intention of the ToS changes but still leaving them ambiguous - or rather not ambiguous, explicitly saying all of your stuffs belongs to us - is wrong.
And yes, I don't like the TOS change..but we're Users...they don't have to listen to us. We can leave....Opensim/Kitely/Avination/Spoton3D are right outside the door. But they have the same weaknesses SL does becuase simply put...they ARE SL, just rebranded. Sure, if they've only got a hundred users logged in they can offer cheap land...no users to support...but imagine if they had 3000, or 10000...imagine those users expecting 24/7 service...frequent viewer updates with new features, new features in the service, customer support....that costs people. Programmers, HR people, support staff for those people, secretaries, call center people, IT people. People cost money.
You are right, the old SL we came for is gone. The sky already fell. I posted that, too, when I realized it, and I cried a lot that day. I don't find SL much fun anymore -- some of the parts that were important to me have gone missing, and many of my friends. It isn't what I wanted. I can still make money from it, but I didn't come here for money. Money is, however, why I am for business reasons concerned about the TOS change, particularly because it is retroactive.
My company began working in OpenSim some years ago. For a while, I felt like a bit of a traitor, and that and a client with an NDA kept me pretty quiet about it. But the country I was being loyal to is gone now. You're right, OS started as just reverse-engineered SL. However, it has begun to offer more things that SL doesn't, and it has already siphoned off a lot of the educational community (those who stuck with VR instead of moving on to more of-the-moment tech, like mobile apps). One company has Pathfinder, familiar to edu-oldbies, another has a different billing scheme and an interesting new shop for hypergrid travelers. There are other wholly new things in the works, too, and friends of mine who once made a living in There.com have been able to return and get back to business since that world was resurrected. It isn't as bleak a playing field as it was, and some of us -- often necessarily -- have gone on to get our toeholds in these other places.
The good folks of the SL Bar Association and the UCCSL (I think I have that right?) have done a valuable service for us, and I suggest that everyone have a look at their video, despite its length. They have a reasonable approach in mind that is far more likely to be effective than anything else in which we can participate.
Yesterday i tried to find a designer i love. But could not so i suppose she left SL. But i still have her clothes in my inventory. There must be tons of stuff out in SL where the creators have left SL.To keep using it i suppose legally Linden lab must be co owners. If you delete it from the servers because the copyright owner have left i would be out of stuff i did pay for. It is tricky.
Anyone - myself included - who didn't delete their content after the new TOS came into effect is SOL for taking that content down. Linden Labs can just retrieve a backup from the day before you erased it and you have no right to complain. They own the rights to what is on their server under this new TOS, as much as you do. 2ff7e9595c
