Before we delve into secrets…
• If you hook up with a crazy in SL, it is not our responsibility to help you deal with that. If it becomes a RL issue contact law enforcement.
• Trust no one. If you tell people your laundry they will air it for you.
• Secret submissions are anonymous. We don’t know if your crazy ex or your abuela submitted them.
• Make your secrets legible.
• Do not contact us just to threaten us, especially with e-lawyers. We’ve been doing this for 12+ years. You are not the first nor will you be the last.
• Lastly, if the material submitted here triggers you, please get help. If the materials submitted here make you suicidal please see the suicide hotline numbers posted. They are there to help.
I’ve seen other stores use derivative work from catalogs surprised no one has called them out for it as well.
Because it only ever comes up when someone is trying to character assassinate someone else, usually because their competition. Otherwise no one cares
They’re for the resident grammar nazi
The Isla tag on that pic is super fishy. Who the hell names their computer and such after their SL avatar and business instead of their real life name or something? That’s someone trying to stir the shit pot.
Dear creators,
1. Take a blank sheet in a secluded and insulated wormhole in space/time.
2. Formulate your own original concept of any piece of furniture, clothing et al.
2. Make sure no one in the entire universe has ever used a similar feature (spend the minimum of 4 days researching for proof and compile all references worthy of a thesis).
3. Hand sketch each minute detail, re copy in triplicate.
4. Upload the 2D image into the magic extruding program and extrude (apparently that is all the rage on how things are done)
5. Sell your marvellous ingenious soul rending (ohh how the world wept when we beheld it) design and sell for a penny.
6. Stand on trial and defend each comment when it is found that the curve on the right hand side appears to be a replica from 1463 in the portrait of Dame Katherine the III’s left nostril. A polygraph may be required. You may also be thrown in a pond, if you float you are presumed guilty.
7. Rinse and repeat. .. no wait fuck that for an idea. You are the Van Gogh of our day, we will only lament when you are dust. Let us marvel in your magnificence, and let them eat cake.

You don’t really understand sarcasm do you?
I get, don’t even speak to me before coffee 🙂
This copyright stuff is amusing. Way back in the day (because my avatar is old!!) people would zip around SL wearing superhero logs on their system shirts, and Disney character stuff. I honestly don’t believe it was anyone’s intention to stick it to Disney by creating these things in SL. I don’t think they were being malicious. I think this was just stuff they liked in RL so they brought it into SL.
Then one day, some asshole(s) decided they could make themselves seem important by pointing out this atrocious copyright infringement.
Then some sheep (actual humans with very little brains) jumped on board and cry copyright infringement every single chance they get. It’s Second Life. It may be your ENTIRE life, but it’s really small potatoes in the big picture. Step back. Gain some perspective. Click X and maybe watch the news. There’s real problems out there. Real causes you could put yourself behind with your self righteous indignation.
Keep up the great work, Cory. Thank you. .
Exactly Bruise and some of those very assholes the ones who went around pointing out these atrocious copyright infringements, were posting pics of their own littleselves and boasting about their mini spiderman suite escapades, oh the hypocrisy of it all makes me laugh. You see, when it suits them to be seen as a dogooder or to jump on an attention whoring band wagon they’re all in. What a joke
Cory did the right thing by not posting or responding to any of these accusations last week. It eventually went away. That wasn’t enough drama obviously so the person had to make another secret. Whomever you are, you’re not getting the response you want from Cory she doesn’t care about the opinion of anyone who would read here. So next week this will all blow over again and you the poster will still be all bitter and twisted.
Whose ass does the shitty dress maker kiss to avoid comments being published anyway… truth must have hurt too much.
She doesn’t have to kiss anyone’s ass. But her real life relationship is off limits. It has nothing to do with if she’s a cunt to you on a daily basis, if you don’t like her rigging or her store.
If you have any issues with that you can discuss it further with me. Don’t like it, too fucking bad.
What Lourdes said. The end.
Why didn’t you demo the item before buying it then make a shitty photo of said item and calling it awful? I can’t even believe you guys believe there is quality work that goes into c88 items in the first place. The place is a discount shop and discount shops always have items with flaws in real life.
that picture is actually tyrs friend
When are you tards going to get over the whole IP/copyright infringement in SL. NO ONE CARES!
Less people would hate on Tyr if she stopped referring to people she doesn’t like as NPC’s or ‘no names’ and telling people they don’t matter.
Maybe if she treated people with respect, she would get some.
holy crap isla you jerk!
who is 11 talking about. I dont plurk. ?
I personally think if this girl would start treating the ones she doesn’t view as “popular” like assets to SL and normal people who deserve her better then thou attention, a lot of you haters would cut her a break.
Since she eats and eats and eats the SL Ladder well, thats likely to not happen any time soon.
You will continue to find any flaw you can to show this girl how much you all dislike her so yeah.
Treat people like how you want to be treated. Its not all about who can do for you. It’s about community.
Behave.
who is number 2 about?
2 is about the CSR of a shoe store who also runs a jewelry store.
The story is that she’s married rl but visits shoe store owner to bump uglies. In return he makes the jewelry for her store.
Talented guy! Apparently he can also bump uglies in IM when he’s with her.
who is this “dutch bitch” an dhe fucks “who” behind “who’s back?” OMG this is bafeling me—–cure my curiosity so i can laugh for today!
Cae
Who cares? Why is it so important ?
The shoewhore and showman have been fucking since the dawn of time. Just because they are quiet about it doesn’t make it a secret.
The secret isn’t raising awareness of their pixelated bumping, as we all know how long that’s been going on anyway. They indicate some ‘dutch bitch’ and the showman are getting it on behind her back and are warning her.
candydoll
Duthie?
In regards to number 1, is it copyright infringement to make of virtual model of a bed from Real Live? Just curious.
Out of curiosity, why give a “thumbs down” to someone asking a legit question?
/me waits for the ‘thumbs down” on *my* question lol
I bet you do air quotes with your fingers when you talk
I think you’ve misunderstood my meaning. What I was getting at was why, if someone (not me in this particular instance) asks a legitimate question about a reply or a post or a secret do they get a thumbs down? That’s all. Peace.
Huh? Are you seriously bitching because someone used their godgiven right to give a thumbs down to something you said, rofl insecure much? You must have been urbur gutted because your grammar is fucked up lol
No it isn’t copyright infringment, you can not copy right furniture or houses for that matter
Or cars or cell phones, or laptops. How long have apple been trying to sue samsung, I believe it’s coming on five years now. There are so many cars that look the same imagine if they had copyright over anything but the name. The issue isn’t the law the issue is the idiots who desperatly need a reason to bash or eliminate their competition because they’re insecure or not as talented.
I honestly don’t know. I do know that there are very strict rules about usage of images on the internet. The safest route is to use something like Creative Commons to search because the results are images that have been tagged safe to use for commercial purposes. Even then, citing the creator of the work is usually the respectful and ethical thing to do. Regarding #1, I would still have bought the bed if the ad had stated, “inspired by this real life work of art” and a link. That approach would honor the work of the original artist who actually conceived of the design and implementation of the real life bed.
I looked into it and technically, any time a Second Life creator uses a picture from a catalog or any other source to inspire their work, even if they create it from scratch as a mesh, it’s considered “derivative work”. Technically, they need permission from the owner of that image. Whether the owners of these images would actually care since the amount of money being made is so small, I have no idea.
If it was copyright infringement to make interpretations of real world furniture, we would have none. We would sit on the floor.
There is so obviously a few designers in this round of C88 who have taken RL inspiration, why is Cory being picked on again. Without naming names google up tree house and see some inspiration taken from there and then google up crate furniture and see what happens. It’s not a crime to copy from RL things
Don’t be shy if so obvious can you post comparison shots for us?
I don’t mind them taking inspiration and lol at least we can then all see what inspires our favorite designers!
I would love if they would take images and actually create things in SL for us too I would have all of Restoration Hardware’s store in my SL home!
Agh go google it yourself. I’ve given you enough.
It isn’t copyright infringement. I read the secret as a few weeks ago where she did get caught red handed for stealing copyright. This week the poster is saying they are now adding to that being “unoriginal”.
A lot of designers copy RL items, but looking at the red circles to me it looks like they wasn’t just inspired they did a cookie cutter copy of the image. Not illegal, but it’s still lazy from what I consider a “top famous creator”.
Is lazy a crime? Nope, but it sure means I won’t be adding to the large sums she makes at Collabo88.
I am also wondering how much of her other stuff is like this.
So what it it’s copied from RL, it’s not lazy it still takes a hell of a lot of work and time I’m sure. I dont’ see this as wrong at all, there are so many designer in SL that do this. But someone is on a witch hunt for this one obviously
I think its lazy bc she didn’t put her own creative, unique spin on it….its pretty much identical to the RL photo. Thats just lame in my opinion.
Name some?
And holy crap I just got the file data from the photo too. I guess now we all know now who is posting.
um yeah, that’s pretty much what i’ve been saying too, why are you having a go at me, I agree with you
Name some really, 2Xtreme replicated the earmes sofas, scarlet creative replicate the eames dinning chairs, apple fall has been called out for replicating on this site. Megg Demina replicated the entire Alexander McQueen collection and sold it. Go visit the loft RL ahem “inspiration” in multitudes. Frank lloyd wright waterfall house has been replicated even the goddamn whitehouse has been copied. Want more, do a search on the marketplace. Copying real life is no big deal
I agree I don’t think creators who take inspiration are an issue.
I haven’t even heard of some of those people as creators but whatever.
To me I don’t have a moral problem with the above secret, though she could have changed it up a bit like other creators do, not do a full on copy.
yes that’s what I thought it was, which if probably why no one has paid attention. Obviously cookie and who ever elses witch hunt didn’t get anywhere last time, so their uploading another secret. Pathetic really
I know who made the secret on Cory. I downloaded the image and ran the information – the idiot left their details on it.
So did I, and I also ran all the other secrets through the same thing, how strange that only secret #1 has such extensive data on it. It’s almost like someone is trying to stitch up another designer, how about that!
agreed!
Well say who it was then?
#1 is the only secret with file information, it’s fake and only there to stirr drama lel
If the file information is fake, are you suggesting that Lourdes or Kess made changes to the image info? Other images have differing image info and if you look at last week’s shot at Cory, you’ll see identical image info with the exception of her name.
That secret was created in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 with a Mac computer. While I do have a macbook I don’t use Photoshop CC. I have CS5. For Windows only. As a test I did download the image and modify the file info and save it. The file is then marked as CS5 on Windows and the creation date is today.
no, the secret creator changed the file info, you can easily write something down in ps
you’re just plain stupid rn
But they know all about forensics and shit. Lol ooookay
So, I think I did this right I downloaded it put it in Photoshop and then looked at File, Information.
It has the creator name, seriously it’s like the pot calling the kettle black!
Tell us who it is then
it’s fake! it’s the only secret with file information, you retards lmao
dont believe every shit you see, geez
I actually pretty disappointed with #1. I regularly buy furniture from that brand and bought that bed at this round of Collabor88. I wish I’d known before hand.
Don’t be, she didn’t do anything wrong
This Olive chick type like a screaming 5 y/o and her drunk typing last night was so fake. She is known for having the worst typos too so she was not drunk last night. What a fake
#12 JEANIE’S BACK?!?
no
#5 Amen!
Sick and tired about those fundings for unimportant causes.
If you can afford a 800 $ Pc, maybe try a cheaper one, hey but why i just ask people for their money, easy peasy, right..
And calling people on flickr “Bunch of losers” doesn’t make you look good anyway.
A least those Loser can afford a PC by their own money…. oh wait who is the loser?!
For someone who’s PC is fucked she certainly has not stopped the flow of pictures and blog posts. Was also seen at collab which this round is a complete lag fuck more than normal. So saying she needs a new PC and that she has no other means to get online other than it, is bullshit. She is all cunt hurt that the majority feels this way bout that situation, however, if your going to try and bullshit an entire community how bout logging off and making it at least seem somewhat legitimate. Using an illness as a means to an end for this type of bullshit is pathetic. There are so many who need actual help. She makes me sick.
Yep.
No one NEEDS a PC for living, and even if I would and I would need to ask other ppl for money I would be more modest and not ask for 800 really there are other and def cheaper options out there…even USED Pcs would be an option when I obviously can not afford a new one!
And it makes me angry, when you see next to such fundings,
someone with asking for help, medical help for treatments as example, fighting for life.
But well some people don’t have empathy for it…
Well. Some people do need a PC for a living. But it certainly isn’t this bitch LOL
I agree. I am a teacher and required to do most of my stuff on a computer. *shrugs*
I’m sure you won’t die without your PC…Facebook and SL withdrawal aren’t deadly, and there are other jobs out there then SL ya know!
And don’t start the “Other Jobs need PCs too” THOOOOSE ppl probably can afford a new PC before its dying completely and take care of their stuff regularly!
But yes this woman with Google diagnosed Aspergers is so weird (nicest word I found)
I worked with autistic people and even Asperger ones and shes as far from Aspergers as the Sun is from Pluto, poor Pluto…..we should make a GoFundMe for him so he could buy some plane tickets to visit the Sun, of course first class!
You don’t KNOW that this person has – as you put it – “google diagnosed” Aspergers. Plenty of people have it and are properly dx (my husband being one of those people).
Plenty of people also DO need computers to work. Again, my husband’s one of those people. He works from home, for a remote office that’s 2000 miles away. He HAS to have a computer for work.
You never know everyone’s situation. Even if you think you do.
We know she’s self diagnosed because she pluked about it.
We also know she does not work because she plurks about that also.
We know because she plurks it all.
Why are y’all on her plurkline if you don’t like her? I’m sure shed appreciate it if you fucked off her timeline.
I didn’t say I don’t like her. She is good for the occasional trainwreck. I especially like when she plurks about being rushed to the ER in an ambulance. She plurks from the ER because things are dire. Then an hour later she is posting new pictures on flickr.
She is annoying/crazy and adds everyone on SL FB & Plurk. People don’t delete her because everyone enjoys watching a train wreck. She has no filter and plurks/FB status the most stupid private shit that no one needed to know about. Like finally figuring out where the smell of vomit was coming from in her bedroom.
It’s her plurkline – she can talk about whatever she damn well pleases. I’m so confused at why you intend on staying on someone’s timeline when you absolutely can’t stand them.
The mind boggles.
Everyone on plurk posts the most mundane aspects of their life. I’m sure you do too, stop acting like your plurkline is all philosophical insights and Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Your name, Popcorn Eater says it all. At least I post under my own name. And if I don’t like someone’s plurkline then I am not on it.
Says the woman that owns a bully website to entertain herself!
Says a frequent contributor to the bully website.
You all come here and comment and contribute. But you forget this is not your house and not your rules. Respect the rules when we put them down. They don’t have to be fair, they don’t have to be consistent, but they do have to be followed.
OK I’m not on Plurk but maybe I should be. I love a good train wreck and reading this sort of shit is very entertaining.
Erm, when did i stated i KNOW her?!
I simply said Asperger becomes trendy in SL, so many saying they having it, but i’m sure some of them not.
And btw, does your husband had a fundraise to get a computer?!
I don’t think so.
Asperger is popular in SL due to a well known Linden having it as well.
I am not saying they do not have it but it seems like people were like “Oh my god! I must have it too! Does that make me popular too?”
I’ve noticed lately the asperger syndrome become trendy,
some people are rude and mean, and bam ” i have asperger, that is normal for me.”
Maybe they should meet with people who actually have asperger or maybe research it, its a whole different thing.
As a person with real, professionally diagnosed autism (Aspergers actually doesn’t exist anymore as a classification, it’s now considered ‘mild autism’) fuck these bitches who think that saying they have AS lets them get away with acting inappropriately. Walk a day in my shoes, understand the pain of sensory overload, not being able to read facial expressions, not interpreting tones of voice correctly, and always having your body language read incorrectly. AS isn’t some trendy diagnosis that you can just slap on yourself to excuse being a socially awkward/mean person, and I cannot stand people who do that.
I do of course
“Google diagnosed Aspergers”? That’s interesting. Are you clinically qualified to make a statement such as that which questions one’s diagnosis?
Call the person weird or whatever, but just because you worked with a few people who have had autism (including Asperger’s) does not mean you have seen all instances of it. That’s like if someone were to say that a high-functioning person with autism did not have autism because they don’t have the exact characteristics as a low-functioning autistic person.
How would you feel if you had a physical or mental condition, permanent or temporary, and some idiot online decides to play doctor or psychologist? I’m sure you would not take it that well.
Just because you don’t agree that someone should make a GoFundMe page for a $800 computer, doesn’t mean you can take it to this level. You look ignorant when you do.
little bones hair shit is the same. have you guys ever seen the ugly rig/textures?
https://www.flickr.com/photos/littleboneshair/20382588982/in/dateposted/
Same like Besom and all the other shitty supposedly famous designer at those events.
Wait but you do realize that if you look around everyone is wearing Little bones and Besom hairs… ?
Yes they are supposedly famous.
Oh gee, a hair you don’t like? How about just don’t buy it. or does it make you feel warm and fuzzy inside to talk trash about people?
Seems pretty simple to me. “Oh hey, I think that hair is not so great. Let me move on to the next item”.
what does besom or littlebones have to do with anything? you really cannot refrain from bringing these hair designers into it huh? Both of them have great rig and textures. Are you upset you didnt get into c88? Noticed a few missing lol. you moron.
I point out because its also in this event, so it has something to do with this post. Most of them are lazy asses nothing more, some are criminals, steal content, download and upload it. They laugh about you because they have not to do it better cause you buy this shit anyway. If you do not see the low quality, even it’s already in this picture, no one can help you. Sad! Who is the moron now?
PLEASE tell….which hair brand(s) are worthy of your lindens????
There are many.. But Little Bones and Besom definitely not!
Who called anyone a moron? lol. I mean, if that is the level you have to stoop to, ok.
Beyond that, sure it is one thing to talk about out right content theft from RL designers, but to lump those people in with hair creators like Little Bones is just downright ridiculous. None of them are “criminals” stealing content. If you want to talk about that, create a new subject, don’t run on into it whilst talking about hair you don’t like.
Bottom line, you don’t like it. You don’t have to. There are plenty of options at other events or even at Collabor88 itself. There are plenty of brands I don’t care for, but I’m not about to talk shit about them because I’m “Anonymous” and it makes me feel oh so good to act like a troll.
Also, the picture doesn’t really speak on the quality of the product, it only speaks on the quality of the picture. I would much rather see low quality photos then ones rendered in 3D programs that don’t accurately depict the look of the item in world. That being said, some products may be better than others, but again, you have the option to demo it or just simply walk away. Stop acting like you are being forced to purchase products you don’t want.
Correction-I see the other commenter called you a moron first, my bad.
I meant to thumbs you up, but I accidentally clicked thumbs down. SORRY! But I agree with you! What do they have to do with it? Any who cares to begin with?! lol.
just another severely jealous person TRYING to take some popular and talented creators/brands down.
*and
#7, preach it. their c88 items are utter shit. poorly rigged, awful seams.. dani needs a new rig bitch, lol
Im sorta shocked by this….Birdy is the skin brand….Foxes is the clothing brand and their items are 99% (this being the 1%) super high quality clothing, the rigging is also impressive.
I honestly think someone who was super jealous of Birdy/Foxes and had to come up with something to try and railroad…and this is weak…it’s obviously a mistake. Just my opinion.
what are you even talking about? its rigged like a dream. fits my lara body perfect.
Agreed. Even if the texturing on this item came out wrong, the rigging on Foxes items is generally like buttah.
Honestly, they have some of the best rigged items at Collabor88. I’ve never had an issue with any of their items, especially the items specifically fitted for certain mesh bodies. You just sound butthurt because maybe you don’t like them as people?
Who is 12 about ? Who’s coming back?
Posh? Wasn’t there drama a long time ago that she copied your hair?
they had similar styles period doesnt mean she copied her. if that was the case theres a lot of copying in the hair world and a lot of stored with the same styles so how this made this list is beyond me, plus girl hasnt been around in months so secrets needs to find something else to “expose”
stores*
so.. who made the shitty dress thing?
birdy/foxes/whatevertheyhavetonsofnames at collabor88
Birdy is the skin brand. Foxes is the clothing brand. Alchemy is the fantasy brand.
I thought birdy was a completely different skin brand and also a different store that made overpriced gacha things, who then teamed up with tyr for some stuff?
I don’t really see how this ranked a secret, though. Usually their items are quite good. This just seems like a mistake that is easily fixable.
LOL? Is this a joke? It’s in the very middle of the front of the dress. It’s huge. All the way up and down the dress. This is no simple under-the-radar tiny mistake.. Unless they UV and texture blind folded. lulululu
wish i could upvote you more than once
