 Description  « Hide
Texture Theft has been rampant in second life and is way past out of hand.
Back in 2004 before coming to second life I used to play Americas Army this is a free open g/l game put out by the U.S. Army.
During the beginning of this game a lot of cheaters came to play but the army got smart and contacted even balance to help stop the cheating.
Even Balance is the creator of the program known as punk buster this program runs within the game client and detects programs used to cheat.
The user must install the program in order to play the game failure to install the program prevents one from playing.
I have already spoken to the folks at even balance and punk buster can be used to detect the opengl32.dll necessary for programs such as gl get and gl intercept to use it can also be used to detect any forms of the gl config file.

It has been shown the whole DMCA process is useless and a waste of time money, and energy. Recall the sexgen theft and poor results of the law suit.

It is prudent that linden labs checks into punk buster for the stability of second life and its future.
Visit the even balance web site to find out more information on punk buster
