Since you don't care about someone like me. Open your eyes to the huge companies being infringed upon. BTW their policy of paying their developers has only been in effect as of April 2015. Keep checking in, I'm not done yet. Oddly enough my video recorder keeps screwing up when documenting anything new on or about IMVU lol. While netstat shows no user ip addresses tonight. My pc is suddenly locking up and my videos are either scrambled or "unsupported format" only on IMVU weird. The rest play? What is that? Oh, but yes please someone inform me, I beg of you how can this company claim my work my property is mine in one breath and tell me they and their partners (developing community included) can do what they please with it and not give me one cent? EVEN if this were in any way legal? Where does it say they or anyone else has the right to access my personal device to retrieve my work It clearly states submit. LOL oh, I get a few pity sales after continuing to complain in their forums. But only from other developer alt accounts, or perhaps IMVU bots. But I had to spend over 100,000 of my own credits to do it. It took 6 months. And I was still, several dollars a way from the $50 cash out, which took more than a month to complete? I was responsible for purchasing my own products more than half the time, if I ever want to see another cashout how much will it cost me? Did you know? I set my prices lower and made a huge stink about the theft and still no one cared enough to stop it? I took it to the CEO and he completely ignored my suggestions taking steps to legalize their business. Even after pointing out that they were being sold on other sites. (His response was to update the TOS adding that they can do what they please with anything I submit, and to admit that they may know it's happening but they are not responsible brilliant right?)But why would he care since every developer account I have has received "join now" emails from graphic sales sites wanting me to subscribe to buy my own work lol. Partners right. People actually get rich off this! What attorney couldn't confidently argue my rights. This companies depends on people not reading their TOS! How often do you read the TOS for every website you visit? How often do you read the TOS for every program you install? We're supposed to just click that box like goons and most of us do, we only read them after people point out statements, and then in most cases we don't even understand what it means, but we said ok. More reason that not only the law but security needs an overhaul! And the best part, if laws were updated, companies were to admit that they fallen victim to fraud and partook foolishly in theft of intellectual property. And speak out on the impact, come out sympathetic to the victim, pay their (what I hope will be large so that the majority goes toward the national debt) fine. Agreeing to make some restitution to the victim. The next group will be protected. And we wonder why there is such a high demand for hacking we warn everyone not to click links and not to download files from suspicious email addresses. We tell them their bank information can be stolen but we don't stop and think about things that might be far more valuable. I might have 2 bucks in the bank but the stuff on my bit locker drive could be worth millions, or even billions. Look at what not considering better security for nobody's like me might cost someone. How many this and that's boasting "high def" or sporting anyone of my original unaltered designs, or using my designs to derive from?
