So you hate people because they provide products to a user base which amounts to
90% of AW's incomes? Within worlds that are privately bought and paid for? Are
you some kind of freak? Or did GOD not create you NUDE at birth? Please do not
spout off some false doctrines... Torture devices? This is 3D... "virtual"
dear... like a cartoon... I have yet to see an avatar tortured. I guess in your
mind Steven Speilberg actually kills soldiers for his movies?
At least you have shown your TRUE intentions! You post because you HATE my
company because we will help ANYONE to have their fun in VIRTUAL reality. My
life experiences have shown me life and death so many times. I am wise enough to
respect that people are entitled to their fun in the privacy of their own
homes! If it makes them smile than that is a GOOD thing! There is enough pain
and sorrow in reality... Please show me what YOU have done for real life
society? I myself have done much and continue to do so! I help people... I
don't attack because of my personal beliefs like you are showing you do... AW's
guidelines? Does that include illegal gambling in bingo which you must pay to
play? Does that include teaching children that your idol admits to wrong doing
and ignoring law and property infringement? Please..... If a user wants to run
around in a nude comic book character form let them... if it makes them smile
and be happy... I'll make it for them! yes.. that is far better than seeing a
head blown into pieces from a shotgun... or wife who cut her husband to
pieces... So show me how I can further help people to avoid those types of
pains... I sure wouldn't force prudery onto them and then hand them the shells
:) I am still laughing at the AWI guidelines.... those must be as honorable as
the FREE citizenship's that came with world purchases which have been stolen
away from those worlds... or the choice of tourist access which also was
wrongfully stolen away from those same purchased worlds... Yes... ethics,
morals... Please let's get some into this place before it is closed down for
illegal acts such as the HATE CRIMEs perpetrated by a certain mob group
here...! Let's respect other's privacy... as the US government used to do for
people in their own homes before the jack boots started to dwindle away the
constitution. If you don't like nude avatars daphne.. then stay out of the
worlds who buy them... they are PRIVATE worlds! What part of word of private
confused you? Like the abortion to the CY Awards last year based on fears and
mobs... simply put... hold 2 CY's, a daytime G rated and then the majority R
rated at night... instead of trying to control private citizens who harm no
one... Guess you never thought that perhaps a person in a nude avatar is trying
to recreate what they lost by being paralyzed? Or some other disability... Not
your place to judge... not mine either... MY GOD placed me here to help... to
save life where I can... I have faithfully lived that to fruition... I do not
discriminate because of Race, Color, Religion or Personal Choices... That is
not my right... I simply HELP people... Hopefully some day you will get past
your fears and personal bigitries. I wish you the best.

Characters are a metaphorical representation of people, they are
killed... yes. I thought you were a director/actor?

A more accurate correlation would be "If a person wants to run around
naked in a G movie, let them." AWI has recently begun steps to improve
this problem. Let's not forget that they're on your site, unprotected,
in image form, for all the eyes to see.

Too bad the constitution does not guaruntee your safety. It also gives
the government right to do anything they want, let's see... they could
also rape you to death if they felt it necessary for the safety of the
country and its citizens. The elastic clause buddy, the elastic clause.
It gives them the right to do _anything_ they damn well please. Most
countries in the world have this same clause.

AHH a bit of honesty finally! You attack me without merits simply because you
harbor hatred within you for some of our customers... I guess you wrap up the
people who I just completed prayer sequences for as evil too huh? How about if
I told you the true life story of how I made Christ's body bleed in a film for
the largest Christian broadcast network in the world? Would you bash them too
simply because it is I and I help people you hate?

HATE is a BAD thing! Nothing disturbs me more than a person who claims to be
good but starts off with hatred which is sooo bad. If I recall, all are born
naked. I think you better castigate your GOD then for that... You obviously
feel you are above him and he wrong in his (her) decision to do that... Please
go out and enjoy some flowers blooming... enjoy their beauty... then look
closely... they are NUDE!!!! Nature did not force inhibitions down their
gullets. Mankind would have been better off had they not either! But then
again you might support the burning of babies flesh in Iraq as a just act! Even
though it was all based on lies! Me... I say it is wrong to starve and kill
babies... I say its wrong to harm people you don't know, like you have me...
simply because of your personal beliefs.

Did someone mentions Cys?:)

FYI...the Cys are "F" rated for fun!:)

I came up with my own world rating for the Cys actually...pretty cute eh?:)

Anyways, the Cys guidelines are based on AWI's Guidelines listed at
http://www.activeworlds.com/community/terms.asp

We are a world residing in AW Universe and agree to thier terms.

I have spoken to numerous Adult world owners and have been told they would
appreciate it if the Cys didn't allow Adult rated worlds, as they don't want
to be combating the "under aged users" that would be tempted to see what had
won.

I had also been told by some Adult world owners that are IRL parents that
they would be concerned also if their children were tempted to adult worlds.

Two things I would like to bring to light here.

1. Insanity, you and some of your world owners and builders make very
beautiful things and are very deserving of a thousand Cys! I don't care what
your preferences are adult material or not....ya'll are AW Masters at some
things. (Note:not referring to Gor Masters:)

2. Daphne, I wish you were privvy to the concern of the Adult world owners
and could respect them for sharing your identical concerns:)

Well...that's all I have to say about that for now:)

I do not recall him saying anything about x-rated, just nude. I have never
understood what is so "bad" in nudity that is has to be x-rated, when at the
same time AWI has avatars on their OPs that carry a gun, which in my opinion
is much more x-rated. Something I would rather "protect" my children from if
I had any. I have seen avatars in the form of a preacher, also something
that I consider damaging for ones mind.

I wonder if there will ever come a day when people will realize that nudity
is nothing bad, as a matter of fact it is the most natural state to be in.
People, go join a naturist club, and stop fighting :)

Nude with an erection while the female nude avatar assumes the "slave

If you want to see if Andras really did download parts of (or your
entire) Web site, you can simply check your Web server logs for his IP
address. If you don't know how to get his IP address (since both of you
are world hosts), I can't help you.

Since Web pages are in a digital format and are usually in an
unencrypted state, it is very simple to save them locally on your own
hard drive. Isn't there a feature in Internet Explorer that let's you
read Web pages off-line? There are also countless programs out there
that allow you to download all of the HTML, text, graphics, sounds, etc.
of a Web site (Teleport Pro being an example) and save the contents to
your own computer. You can block a great deal of them by using
robots.txt and .htaccess files, but you can never guarantee that someone
won't fake a referrer field or use another method to get by.

You can use one of those JavaScript HTML encrypter programs, but people
with JavaScript disabled won't be able to see your site. You could also
digitally watermark each and every one of your graphic files on your
site, if you really wanted to. Simply put: while there are ways to deter
digital theft, nothing is really foolproof. Also, in the United States
and in other countries, there are fair use laws in place that allow
others to use copyrighted material in certain ways (usually for
personal, noncommercial use).

While it may be against your site's Terms of Use or copyright/trademark
notice (if you even have one), I don't believe it is illegal to simply
have a copy of your site stored on a person's computer. Heck, why do
think there is a caching mechanism built into Web browsers? Oh, that's
another thing, you can force browsers that visit your site not to cache
it if you are really paranoid about theft.

What it comes down to is the intent. If Andras sets up a new Web site
saying ill things about your service or customers or tries to go off and
pass your site as his own, then that may be grounds for legal action.
But simply downloading your Web site to his local hard drive for his own
personal use is another matter entirely. If you want to even the score,
go to his Web site and download it to your system. Now you are even. Can
we stop this now?

I must have missed that part; the man produce so much text that it is hard

worlds?

I personally do not care if the only avatar in the worlds I host would be a
huge dick; it is the business of the worldowner. Since there is a x-rated
option in the worldfeatures, I assume it is ok to have x-rated worlds; why
else would AWI in the first place have an option for that ?
We could of course argue the ratings until we die (what I think is x-rated,
might not be that in someone elses opinon and vice verca etc etc)

Oct 13, 2003, 11:28am
First let me start off saying that I am outraged by the deliberate attacks and what
appear to be actual "hate crimes" against myself, my company and our patrons. A
false campaign of hate which is clear in the newsgroup has be waged against us for
over a year now.

The FACTUAL information is this. Our user texture galleries are PRIVATE. There is
clear notice that it is illegal for anyone to enter that ASP server without
permission. It is not a web html server but a private program system. Our world
owners clearly know what they have purchased and what they have not. This is a
courtesy to the world owners of the licensed items and their builders designed to
aide them in their use of the AW software. These people have purchased the rights to
use the items and textures in their worlds. I am quite sickened by the panic and
attacks I have received. No one has ever used one of your models on our systems
illegally ever! You and others know well that AW provides your textures in
everyone's cache! We do not offer out the images. We offer a gallery so that users
can observe names and therefore use the AW software the way it is meant! WE HELP
USERS! WE DO NOT HURT ANYONE!

I am sick of the jealousy and HATE! "RENTED PATH" is such a FALSE header. Please
pull your head out of the sand! 99.9% of users "RENT" their path space! In FACT...
100% of users are on "RENTED" services from their ISP's! Even the ISP's "Rent" the
bandwidth throughput from backbone providers. http://worldhosting.heartfall.com set
up the system years ago to allow users a chance to enjoy owning a world without the
hassles of learning to be a computer geek! We do this so that people can have
FUN!!! Not to be wrongfully attacked by people running amuck in panic and fear due
to their own ignorance of facts! Users pay less than 7 pennies per day to have
access to our huge and original path systems! ALL private models have been
protected for users and we have NEVER had a single loss of data! Our galleries are a
"PRIVATE" program server provided solely to our world owners who have lawfully
purchased the license to use the AW software and the models in their lawful
possession. I will no tolerate abuses against them! Realize that by your entering
the site you are deliberately and knowingly violating the law by entering a system
clearly posted as private and ordering you to exit! The system logs every single
hit to it. Your ISP is required by law to provide your personal information to us
should we request such. As with the lawsuits filed by and on behalf of music
companies against users of KAZAA, we may perhaps file lawsuits upon anyone entering
our ASP server unlawfully and using that illegal entry to harass our company and/or
our customers. We PROTECT the rights of our lawful users to the best of our
abilities! Their license purchases give them the rights to use their items as they
wish within their worlds!

Until you and other people make demands on AW to stop placing your images in open
cache, all images will be made available to aide the builders in their lawfully
creative ways. I say this because for us to be forced to harm our user base would
be discriminating and punishing them alone while you do knowingly allow all to
receive copies of all images into cache! I do not see the artists complaining to
the software company, AW, for allowing a cache image gallery on every computer!
Therefore you best cease harassing our company! We are doing nothing wrong,
unethical, illegal, or infringing upon copyright laws whatsoever! We are simply
aiding our lawful users their right to have access to the filenames they paid for!

NOW if people wish to start making claims then let me suggest a bit of intellectual
advice to the novices who feel they can create their own laws. 1. Become a
professional. 2. Learn how to uniquely prefix filenames so that computers can
filter. Too many ignorant people believing computers should be hand picked through.
They are "computers" they compute... they are automated systems. People are being
so "unrealistic" in their expectations its become absurd. 3. File by law a copyright
form and send each original image to the library of congress as required by law
prior to any publishing! Wake up and realize that posting to the web is an act of
"publication" 4. Seek legal advice and education about the law. Do not try and make
it up as you go. 5. Do not threaten unless you have legal grounds or you may find
your home and assets at risk quickly! If you demand that we remove the images you
best have used due diligence to demand that the software company not allow the "art"
gallery on every copy of their browser. When you create works KNOWING that your
images are for "USE" within worlds, do not cry when they are being displayed to
facilitate that "USE"

NOW, if you can show me how any law is being violated by our showing our users the
images that they paid to use so that they can lawfully use them. AND, you can
provide lawful proof that you have legally created the images using fully licensed
systems and software. AND, you can provide proof that the copyrights are indeed
actually your's and not a compilation of work or alteration of someone else's
work(s), THEN we will consider honoring your request which ultimately will harm the
users who have paid you to use them.

The WCOL Textures galleries are there for lawful users. We are not the first to have
galleries to facilitate our users. We will not be the last. We are not offering the
images to anyone!. We have spent considerable time and money to insure that ALL
property is protected. We have used our "BEST EFFORTS" to protect ALL artists works.

WE ask that you not be narrow minded in you thought process and that you NOT follow
the campaign of HATE and Discrimination so clearly set forth by the mob of a few!

You will find that you will NOT be able to show any evidence whatsoever that even
one single image has ever been wrongfully used. Unless deliberately done now, after
the fact, in an attempt to harm our company or our users.

Please people... AW is dying a fast death because of all the bickering and hateful
acts put forth by the user base populating and publishing their hate in these
newsgroups and amongst the software universe. Heartfall Productions has worked hard
for many years to make building easier for users. Many of whom have died of cancer,
but enjoyed our easy access to world ownership and building for their enjoyment in
their last days! We are here to help! We are here for 365 day immediate support! We
are here so that people can EnJoY* during a day an age when suffering is so great in
the world.

I ask that the people of this virtual place think... learn... and educate their
minds and open their hearts! I ask that they stop following mob rule... that they
think before they attack, or condemn out of ignorance and fear! You will not be
hurting me... you are simply hurting the users, grandmothers, handicap persons,
children, foreign country citizens, everyone of all walks of life... who came here
and paid their license fees to EnJoY. They do not deserve the abuses... They
deserve what they pay for!

If you have a gripe... complain to Bill Gates for making temp folders on the
software. For the immediate pop up "save as" icons over images. Complain to AW for
their ART cache. Complain to people like Andras who wrote in these news groups how
to convert RAS to JPG. If you LOOK and EDUCATE your minds and read.. you will see
historical record where I have fought against people posting how to steal. I was a
special guest speaker at the CY Awards a few years back.. my topic.. "Copyrights" on
the internet. How to protect your work and what you are NOT allowed to do. Yet most
of you steal an image, redo it and claim it is yours anyway.

I am not your enemy! I am a person who gives 100% of myself to others and have all
my life! I have worked hard to make AW a better place... fighting a loosing battle
too! Because of the few who lurk here in the newsgroups and around in worlds...
bashing and attacking and teaching people how to steal! I educate all our users on
how to be SAFE. How to PROTECT their property. How to have FUN and AVOID the Bad
People here that deliberately lurk to harm users. Every single world owner we
service can tell you that I have spent time with each, personally, giving them tips
on how to safely manage their worlds. I have spent considerable hours and days,
months with programmers like Roland seeking fixes to cure theft issues like the
open cache! I encouraged him to re-do the seqs methods so that they could be better
designed and protected. The designs abilities to seqs and re-writes are here now..
sadly I was informed that the cache protection was not authorized by the
leadership. So ASK AW to protect your work! It is their software that allows the
cache thefts!

NOW, That being said... IF designers wish us to block their "PROVEN" copyrighted
materials... and BLOCK their buyer's & respective builder's access to seeing the
image names... THEN, those designers MUST use unique prefixed filenames and submit
in writing, via U.S. Mail, a list along with a signed affidavit swearing to the fact
that they are the sole owner of legal copyright. Upon receipt of that signed
affidavit, we gladly remove any images they have claim to from the galleries and
place notice on the gallery site that all images from that designer are not
available at the designers demand, regardless of the impact that has to the
licensees' and their builders. That will allow ALL parties to be aware of the
reasons why their access has changed. That will also allow buyers to beware of whom
will cause their world building creative experiences to be restricted and/or
diminished. Personally I believe that is a mistake. I do not believe that buyers
would want to purchase from designers who try and RULE how they operate their
PRIVATELY owned, bought and paid for worlds. Heartfall hosts more than $30,000.00 of
privately owned licensed AW materials. We have proudly done so without a single loss
of that data for many years. Why designers are in a panic now based on a false
posting... and wish to harm their buying public is beyond me... Perhaps it is all
out of fear and rage created by a few mob leaders.. wishing to harm.. rather than
awaken to logic and reason.

ALL Affidavits must be mailed via U.S. Mail, signed and notarized. We require
mailing via the U.S. Postal service for the protection and laws provided for under
"mail fraud" guidelines. We hope that this will limited any such requests to only
legitimate claims and therefore reduce the risks to our users from being wrongfully
discriminated against. Discrimination is a very serious offense and act which
violates the individual freedoms or persons. We will use our best efforts to fight
discriminations of any kind which can harm any person. This is all meant to aide the
protection of actual copyright owners as well as the legal licensee's rights.

Any designer who wishes to have further discussion in this matter is welcome to
phone us directly. If they have limited financial resources and reside in the United
States they may contact us and provide a phone number to reach them at. I will
gladly phone them personally at my expense to help them better understand the
logistics, laws and reasons we provide such thorough care and protection as best we
can. Our contact information is clearly available, published on our web site at
http://www.heartfall.com

I would also like to WARN buyers to beware of purchasing from any web site that does
not clearly offer you adequate forms of contact such as: A:) mailing address B:)
phone numbers to contact the company you are about to do business with. Specially if
you are purchasing using a credit card. This is internet commerce safety -101. ALSO
beware of purchasing on the Internet, any produce that does not clearly state it's
license of use and fails to list it's sales and return policies. Protect yourself!
Be a wise and informed consumer. Demand professionalism in return for your monies!
ALL legit business will gladly provide you with this information in an easy to
locate page.

Let's try and make this virtual environment a better place for all! Let's band
together and rid ourselves of the HATE mongers, bigots, racists and cyber terrorists
that lurk around here! Let's show support to those working hard to protect user!
Let's NOT follow behind the mob of narrow minded hate!

I wish you all well... I sincerely hope that this has enlightened the readers and
done some good for the betterment of all.

Peace, health & healing....
