I declare under the perjury laws of the United States of America that this notification is true and correct.
*update*
The original notification was for a first set of trees that also used my sculpt textures. Those were removed by the group owner who was renting the Sim, only to be replaced by new trees, this time not with my sculpts, but still using tthe stolen textures. I’m leaving my DMCA report to stand for these as well.
At the same time I was on the sim documenting the trees, KatanaBlade Anubis, Samurai Estates Founder, was also there, having Sephiroth remove textures that were stolen from her builds on Samurai Island. I would recommend banning this person from all estates, if you value your own content.

hi Kriss, I hope attention is paid to your DMCA. I would be lost if it was not for your trees. And your prices are so reasonable for the copy versions, I just can’t see why anyone would resort to stealing them
I use your trees, ferns and butterflies almost exclusively on my sims (8 at the moment) and everyone comments on how beautiful they are.
good luck with this, I hope you get a response and positive resolution
ps – do you do commissioned work? i love the pacific northwest and would love tall pines that can be walked under

let us know how this turns out with the lindens. im really curious how seriously they take content theft. i mean you cant just steal a sculpt map and texture by accident
