Nagging them about it is harassment. This permission also allows those other IMVU Developers to set their derived products to be derivable. You agree that since the original Developer in a product derivation chain always receives payment of their wholesale price, simply deriving from those derivations does not, in itself, constitute copyright infringement. Creators throw away hundreds of credits a day by deriving off of chain derived products. In addition on every sale they are paying a middle man sometimes more than one for the pleasure of being duped into chain deriving.
Have you looked at the numbers you have to hit to get one point in that metric? In reality what is the difference between a T6 and a T7 besides a shiny badge? I say to you two words, Developer Tokens. Might as well use that mountain of useless coin for something! But waaaaaaaa. Fine leave everything derivable and feel good about all those extra sales you got from people being overcharged! An exact copy of the parent. Use all or parts of your product in their child product.
They can let folks derive from what they derive from you. And you need that permission in writing! A deriver may not reuse or repurpose any provided assets, such as texture templates, on products that are not children of the source product. A deriver may not rip assets or in some other way break the deriving chain so that the source parent product is no longer in the deriving chain.
So long as a Child-Parent relationship remains intact and the deriving chain leads back to the parent mesh there has been no breach of the agreement you granted by allowing your products to be derivable. Files Sales are a perfectly legitimate business model when done legally. They allow for those who want a product asset but do not have the skills, time or software to create them to purchase said assets from those who wish to provide this service.
What we call them is merely semantics. We must all remember IMVU is not a bohemian art community where only those who can make things from scratch can sell. IMVU is business and like what Betty Crocker did for baking cakes, file sales has done for creators, providing shortcuts to a final product. You can love it, you can hate it, you can choose to ignore it, but whatever you choose it is here to stay. I had the personal pleasure of having this happen to me for the first of many times in Second Life many years ago.
My business model centered around making custom homes with all my own exclusive textures so they were truly one of a kinds. My competitors selling their homes using my personal textures on their homes! Where did they get them? File Sales! Files ripped off from me were being sold to my competitors and worse some were uploaded to the internet so they came up on Google searches! Folks want shortcuts, and they are willing to pay cash money for them.
And as always where there is easy money to be made scammers abound. While yes there are folks who are legitimate there are just as many who are selling rips.
Rips from google, rips from games, rips from creators for other platforms, rips from other file sellers! Instead of bashing files sales as a whole lets narrow that focus down to where the blame should lie, to those selling assets they have absolutely no right to have, let alone sell!
Here is the number one question to ask yourself about your file provider. Do they have the ability to make the item they are selling or giving you? The first one does not use the custom textures it could just use solid colors in each texture slot. This one would be set as " derivable ". The second one uses your textures, and that is set to " non-derivable ".
You could even set the textured version at a higher price, making the non-textured version more attractive to other Creators who want to derive from you.
Q: What are the benefits to the original Creator when someone makes a Zero Change Derive from their products? A: More people may be exposed to the product since it is in the catalog multiple times. These can all benefit the original Creator because Zero Change Derives still use the proper derive chain. This means the original Creator will still receive payment any time the Zero Change Derive is sold.
As a plus, customers who may not have seen the original Creator's product can follow the derive chain and may find your catalog in the process. Q: What are the drawbacks to posting Zero Change Derives in the catalog? As you can see there is a lot to know about Zero Change Derives.
If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to post them in the Discussions. Live chat: Live Chat. Information Content. What is a Zero Change Derive product? A: No. IMVU has a base product "A" and it is priced at credits. NancyJ derives from product "A" to make "B" by changing out the mesh and setting an added profit of credits. Afterwards, IMVU also adds a 40 credit markup.
Product "B" is now credits. JohnG then derives from product "B" to make product "C" by changing out the texture and opacity maps. To sell your outfit, click the Sell button in your Outfit Card.
