Yeah, after years of a creator, Genus received a DMCA notice. Here's the word from their group notice:
I love their heads. They recently put in the group notices their Strong Face head for free. I suspectDear Friends,
For the first time, in a long time, we have a very important message!
As creators, we have been designing in Second Life for many years. Recently, we have received a DMCA complaint against us for the first time from another Second Life creator. According to the rules, we need to delete our content before the end of the proceedings. Our lawyer is currently filing a counter DMCA complaint. It has all our files created for Second Life and we hope the situation will be resolved soon.
The author of the complaint is unknown, but when we receive a response from Linden Lab, we will send the case to court.
We ask you to treat this with understanding, these are forced actions that we must take to ensure the security of our intellectual property. Please note that content will not be removed from your inventory, it will only be removed from the Genusproject Resident inventory. During the closing of the store, we will stay in touch in social networks (discord and Facebook) as well as in the world group. Thank you for your attention and understanding.
with love,
Genus Project Team
