Primjackers Trash LL's Digital Rights Management

Copy "protected" prim hair, motorcycles now easy to copy -
In-world economy threatened?

Recently it came to our attention that certain devices have begun to circulate inside Second Life that allow object owners to circumvent Linden Lab's digital rights management/permissions system. These new products are simply LSL scripts that are able to copy themselves into every prim in a linkset, and then they use the llGetPrimitiveParams function to detect prim shapes and position within a linkset.

Once the target prims have been "enhanced" by the addition of the prim copy script, they can communicate the prim's size and position information to another object which then rezzes a number of cubes that automatically change shape, adopting the shapes and colors of the original prims and position and link themselves -- making exact copies of linked objects. The only missing elements are the textures and the original scripts, which current prim replicators do not currently steal duplicate.
