Kevin Alderman of Second Life is suing someone going under the ID Volkov Catteneo for making unauthorized copies of the virtual device, Sex Gen:
He said he sells about 1,000 Sex Gens a year for the equivalent of about $40 each. As Alderman explained it, a Sex Gen is kind of a machine that manipulates avatars into various positions.
The company’s determination fo preserve intellectual property rights is unequivocal:
Alderman said he hopes to make an example with this lawsuit. “We’re doing the best we can to protect our product, our income, our intellectual property,” he said. “We’re hoping that this is going to send a message to quote unquote hackers and antiestablishment types that just because it’s a virtual platform, we’re not going to sit idly by and let you rip us off.”
