WitchHunts... Answering the allegations (General Discussion)
WitchHunts... Answering the allegations // General Discussionjust inJun 27, 2002, 7:36am
Seeing Insanity falsely and unjustly discredited only highlights how some
love to continue witchhunts based on their perceived understanding of things. Understandings that invariably turn out to be incorrect. This leads me to the never ending trash that I and OneSummer have to endure at the hands of a few who happen to wield some influence, albeit dwindling... There are signs posted at the GZ of worlds America and Y2000 headed with "Warning to World Owners" which continues on to say that myself and OneSummer are banned, apparently using the excuse of us stealing avatars from their worlds. Truth is neither of us have stolen anything. Truth leads to OneSummer's good faith and trust in one person who had access to her object path in BluPearl world who loaded a total of two avatars onto her path, declaring them to be a gifts to her. As soon as it was confirmed that each were in fact stolen they were removed - and we would have thought it would be the end of the matter. Now here is the real truth. America world currently has over 300 objects and textures that I created on its paths. Evidence of this is proven by going to http://www.myactiveworlds.com/~america/ls.php? and listing either the Models or Textures path and counting up the objects and textures beginning with "ju_". I have never given permission for my creations to be on America's paths and hence we discover who the real theives are. I'm still mulling over whether I should register the copyrights on my creations and enforce my legal rights. The whole thing is a perpetuation of the Just In - Broadway vs FriendPa - NewYork "fued", which I wish could just be buried and forgotten. Unfortunately those signs do nothing to allow me and the others concerned to forget it. And my creations on America's path only adds insult to injury. If Posh or Jetta lewis wish to ban me from their worlds, so be it - I couldn't care less. But their false accusations and discredit of mine and OneSummer's name is intolerable. I am unable to resolve this because AW has refused to help, and both Jetta and Posh have filtered out my telegrams. If you can telegram or speak to Jetta or Posh about removing the signs I would appreciate it. Regards, Justin count draculaJun 27, 2002, 10:07am

I do not know what the "fight" is about and I wish to take no part. In general I just think it is sad that people have to fight and argue in such a small community as AW. Personally I have tried to enjoy my time in AW and avoid all kind of fights as far as possible. I have been blueyed and uploaded things to my personal object path that people has given to me as their own; later I have found out they have not had the right to share them and I have removed them. The object path that myactiveworlds.com provides I have only uploaded regular aw objects (including megapath) , freebies I have found on various sites and objects I or my close friends has made. Whatever customers uploads to their own object paths we cannot monitor (except size and file types) and we are not even interestind in snooping around in peoples personal belongings. We wish though the everyone would respect copyright laws and such. If I can assist in any way to solve this matter between you, I am more than glad to help, since I have no personal interest in this matter,well except for I would wish for peace.

Then care to explain HOW you ( or one summer) took posession of an avatar that was MADE specifically
FOR the world Y2000 and used it in the world "BluPearl" This Avatar WAS in the world and also as an object I as well as many others had SEEN it there....... considering it was made ONLY for that world, I'm curious as to your explanations....... Hmm...... got something that doesn't belong to you....... smells of dishonesty to ME johnny bJun 27, 2002, 9:46pm
And I happen to be quite privy TO those , shall we say, "colorful" telegrams you sent to Posh of
Y2000...... Worded quite menacingly, I'd say... Cant do the time, don't do the crime....... Oh yeah...... BTW....... you cant register copyrights AFTER the fact...... It doesn't work that way...... research, my friend.... research johnny bJun 27, 2002, 10:01pm
Also, interesting that you bring this up NOW ( curious coincidence - Y2000 has been nominated for
multiple CY awards ) ... as opposed to MONTHS ago when it actually HAPPENED..... Trying to smear people's opinion there a little bit, maybe ?? poshJun 27, 2002, 10:13pm
Just In, you really do NOT want to go there with me. IT is very apparent to
me that birds of a feather do seem to flock together .. and no matter HOW you want to JUSTIFY what you do to others..and make is sound so peachy.. that is just NOT the case. I am in no war with you or One Summer. I just choose to state fact and keep you out of my world and not accept your nasty beligerant teles anymore, thank God for this new option :) It is my right as a world owner to post FACTS in my world, when you want to stroke the check for it.. then you can post what you wish. You have been banned for a very very long time for your personal lifestyle.. which we shall not go into here.. and the fact that my world has a pg rating. YOU and PG do not click.. and Summer because she is your number one supporter. AFTER and beyond all this it was discovered by someone, that an av that is made exclusively for my worlds by Lady Murasaki, was being used in BluPearl as an avatar AND an object.. and was then as well shown to me that stolen avatars have been an issue in this world. when Lady Murasaki and I approached Summer about this.. we got numerous stories... lies. about it.. Lady Murasaki and I were told at least 3 different stories including that these items were created by a friend for her and that it was not the same item. it was NOT removed until it was demanded to you to be done.. and then you STILL would not remove it, you said, until you could compair meshes.. which you said you did, found it to be one and the same and removed.. I still wonder how YOU could compair the meshes of the one she had and one of Lady Murasakis. I do not see your point of starting a new line of this.. so I don't accept your teles.. so what? so I posted in my world you had stolen items in that world that belonged to me? so what? its fact? Just In, go try to be productive and quit trying to make issues that need not be made. YOU got the sign posted in my world because you continued to harass me neverending..about issues in America that I cannot control.. you brow beat me over them constantly.. and anyone that you could. I did not go looking for an issue with you, you created one..I will NOT talk to you and be harrassed by you.. I prefer to spend my time in AW with positive measures. so go be productive or something Just In. I did NOT state a single FALSE STATEMENT.. what I have posted is absolute truth as we both know.. and as other parties know... so sue me. [View Quote] just inJun 28, 2002, 12:32am
Johnny B
Which part of my explanation of the events did you not understand? For your information in both cases the issue was dealt with directly between OneSummer and the creator of the avatars in question, Lady Murasaki and My Two Keys. All details of how it came about that the two avatars were on BluPearl's path, including who put them there, were given to the creators for them to take any further action as they deemed fit. I helped OneSummer find out who created the avatars and helped her to remove the avatars and textures from BluPearl's path. OneSummer's initial reaction to being told she had stolen the avatars was shock and disgust and upset. Perhaps OneSummer handled the situation badly to begin with, nevertheless it was resolved. There was dishonesty, but not by either myself or OneSummer. OneSummer had no experience in managing world paths and innocently put her trust in others to help her with that. She was greatly saddened by the whole affair. The owner of Y2000 knows all this, yet she still wants to point the finger at myself and OneSummer. If she wants to dislike us and ban us from entering Y2000, that is her choice. The sign she has at Y2000 GZ is the issue and what needs to be resolved. The same goes with the sign at America GZ. Posh it is you that grammed me, and me that replied to your allegations. It was you that would not listen to my explanations. And it was you that went stirring the pot. Meanwhile the issues that I have remain unresolved. Resolve the issues and I have no reason to complain. Regarding the timing of my complaint? I have tried to let it go many many times. Its when people come to me telling me about the "sign they read" that frustrates me. OneSummer gets far more approaches of this, and each time she is forced to explain and defend her actions and is reminded again of the whole sad affair.

I am not going to be involved in this bickering, better things to do :) [View Quote] just inJun 28, 2002, 12:49am
I quote from M. Arthur Auslander, Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property
Law Since 1909, 505 Eighth Avenue, New York, NY 10018.... "Under the law a created "work" is protected under the copyright statute from the moment of creation. The copyright protects the creative expression in the work, not the ideas contained in it. Copyright registration enable the enforcement of rights. The copyright is good for life plus 70 years. An application must be filed within 100 years of the creation of the work." Ref: http://www.intelproplaw.com/Copyright/Forum/msg/259.html Full details can be gotten from http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html The *only* person I have given licence to copy and display my work is FriendPa in the world NewYork, and the only paths allowed to keep copies are those specifically for NewYork world and no other world. *If* FriendPa wishes to make alternative arrangements with me regarding this then she may contact me to discuss it. Regards, Justin PS: This of course does not include the 100+ objects that I've created and donated to the community, most of which are on the Alpha World path, but in those cases the objects and textures are not preceded with the "ju_" prefix.

Posh... How is the issue is resolved? The sign is still there and
reads... "Attn. World Owners: Be advised - Just In and OneSummer of BluPearl & Broadway Worlds, had our exclusive Anubis Avatar, made by Lady Murasaki, OBVIOUSLY STOLEN, as an avatar AND object in their world and on their path." Besides the fact that Broadway World never had that avatar on its path and I am not an owner of BluPearl, the implication is that OneSummer stole it or knew it was stolen, and that is clearly not the case as I have explained. Remove the sign and my issue with you is resolved. Regards, Justin [View Quote] just inJun 28, 2002, 4:31am
Johnny, please feel free to copy to here any of the telegrams I wrote to
Posh. People will then know that every telegram I have written has been solely written in my effort to resolve the problems that exist or answer to misunderstandings. Generally speaking, I think I always remain good tempered, in spite of sometimes the most horrendous incitement. Meanwhile, Johnny, I doubt that Posh has shown you the insulting language she has used against me, or worse still the total vulgarity that Jetta lewis sent me after Posh told her fabrications to him. Posh, what are you trying to achieve by displaying your sign? Is there some way I can help or something I can do to resolve whatever problem you have with me without your need to put up such a sign? Regards, Justin [View Quote] just inJun 28, 2002, 4:31am
Thanks Count,
I will try and contact you in AW regarding the copyrights issue. Regards, Justin [View Quote] kahJun 28, 2002, 1:22pm

Hmmm.... he doesn't do himself big favours a lot of the time with the way he
handles certain situations, but his credibilty level I think varies depending on who you talk to. For some it may have reduced to nil, for others its merely taken a few knocks here and there. Nobody's perfect. Regards, Justin [View Quote] sw chrisJun 30, 2002, 3:35am
You know, um, just an observation, but why does every adversary of Just In
post every couple of words in caps? :) SW Chris sw chrisJun 30, 2002, 3:39am
Read all the posts here.. if I were to make a decision now... I'd say..
..Just In, drop it. Posh. lose the sign. Nobody's going to be hugging each other, but at least you can bury it and it's a good compromise. And register copyrights on those objects! ;) SW Chris [View Quote] just inJul 1, 2002, 1:48am
Thanks for the comments Chris...
I'd be glad to drop it as soon as I stop getting harassed by Poshes cronies - Its Posh that wants to continue to be the bitch with her signs and stubborn (idiotic) attitude. The same applies to Jetta lewis. I'm disgusted to report that OneSummer had to endure whispered insults from someone who managed to escape detection by changing their nick constantly and then running off to hide. This was while participating in a community event yesterday - the insults directly linked to the signs and other comments made by Posh about me and OneSummer. People that have not been at the receiving end of this bullying have no idea how upsetting it can be. Add to that another report originating from Funny Girl (America World Public Speaker) that Summer stole America world avatars! Total nonsense! But this is what we must endure all the time. If anyone feels that they can help to resolve this for us it would be greatly appreciated. I can do nothing because my telegrams are filtered by Posh et. al. and I am banned from both Y2000 and America worlds. PKs wont/can't do anything because its out of their jurisdiction, and AWC refuse to get involved with it. On the copyrights issue - I *think* there might be a agreeable compromise reached on that soon. Time will tell. Regards, Justin [View Quote] just inJul 3, 2002, 1:09am
I am pleased to report that America world is no longer breaching any
copyright. I am even more pleased to report that the signs problem in Y2000 has been resolved. I also investigated what was said by Funny Girl and found she did not originate any comments or rumours regarding myself or OneSummer, and what she had said was taken out of context. I apologise to her for any implication I made. I hope Jetta lewis removes the sign he placed soon, which is the only remaining issue I have. I am sorry for any upset I caused or anything I did that made people feel I was harrassing them - that was never my intention. Thankyou to those who supported me or did anything to assist resolving these issues. Regards, Justin [View Quote] alphabit phalphaJul 3, 2002, 1:41am
I wonder sometimes why things happen and then afterwards I know why.
They are lessons put before us to remember and learn from them:) Geeze...all of this resolution makes me feel all warm and fuzzy again:) builderzJul 3, 2002, 3:07am
I'm glad that virtually all of your issues have been resolved, Just In.
As some of you may or may not know, I host three bots in Broadway and one bot in BluPearl (the "alleged" worlds that were on the sign in Y2000). I have spoken with Just In and OneSummer on countless occasions and, in my view, they have always reflected a positive attitude towards things. I have never seen Just In complain and I see that OneSummer is always trying to give back to the community by hosting various events. Although I was not aware of these particular allegations, I am happy to see almost everything has been patched up between the differing parties. I cannot comment, however, on Just In's or OneSummer's prior history, since I have not known them for an extended period of time. But judging from time spent chatting with them in AW, I truly do believe this entire matter was a grave misunderstanding. Just my two cents. -Builderz |
